Tom Tanner, the crime-scene-cleaning virtuoso of L.A. Rotten-hailed by Dianne Emley as "eloquent, profound, hilarious, and redemptive"-is going Hollywood. Because a psychopathic movie producer is planning a bloody blockbuster . . . with Tom in a starring role. Tom Tanner has a dark past but he's no murderer. Unfortunately, Mikey Echo-the spoiled son of the most powerful man in Hollywood-seems to think otherwise. After a young actor suffers an untimely demise out a thirty-fourth-floor window, handsome ex-con Tom is summoned to scrub the splatter below. At the scene, he learns that producer Mikey has an indecent proposal to make-and for Tom, that means signing a deal with the devil. The rotten part is, things had finally been going Tom's way. He's got good steady work, a feisty woman to come home to, even a little notoriety for solving a string of grisly motel murders. Now Tom just wants this mad prince of Tinseltown to leave him alone. But the fatalist within braces for the inevitable: To get Mikey Echo off his back, someone must die. Praise for Jeff Klima's L.A. Rotten "A really impressive debut . . . The book's black humor reminded me a little of Donald E. Westlake, while the setting and dialogue could have come from Elmore Leonard. Those are two crime-writing legends whose names I don't evoke lightly. Hopefully, L.A. Rotten is just the start for Jeff Klima."-Crime Fiction Lover "Eloquent, profound, hilarious, and redemptive, L.A. Rotten has a heart of gold."-Dianne Emley, bestselling author of the Nan Vining mysteries "A must-read novel for those who enjoy raw, 'pulpy' mysteries . . . Engrossing and satisfying, L.A. Rotten is a hard-boiled thriller that readers will be unable to put down."-Gina Fava, author of The Sculptor
