City of Echoes
In a parking lot behind a landmark grille on Hollywood Boulevard, Detective Matt Jones's first night working homicide plunges him into a nightmare.
A man has been brutally gunned down in his own car; his bullet-riddled body thought to be the work of a serial robber haunting the Strip for months.
But as Jones digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling link to a ritualized murder from the past and finds himself swept into a labyrinth of corruption and deceit that leads directly back to the LAPD, the city’s elite, and a serial killer of unprecedented savagery.
In a world where every ally could be a foe and every step could be his last, it’s not just about finding the killer anymore.
For Matt Jones, a young detective working his first murder case, it’s about facing the darkness within and surviving the match.
