A deadbeat burglar has been found in the upscale Santa Monica beach condo of a playboy studio exec. The dead body must link up with a string of high-tech burglaries, and the Chechens Mason keeps meeting must link up with each other somehow, but how?
The investigation leads him down mean streets into the dark world of embezzlement and an explosion that almost kills him. The stakes rise as the investigation send Mason to the Hollywood Russian community where he is warned off by the FBI and Homeland Security. A bungled take down results in two murders of key informants. Fingers are pointed. Mason is outranked and the Department blamed.
While Mason brings an international whodunit to an end, restoring his own and the Department’s reputation, he finds his relationship with his community activist girlfriend teetering on the edge.

Getting a good murder mystery novel out of what goes on
behind the scenes in grassroots politics, glitzy businesses, and developer
skullduggery makes all those dreary Santa Monica city council meetings
worthwhile.
I live now in a village in the California mountains not that
far from the edge of the Los Angeles sprawl. There's too much to do here: I'm
writing crime fiction seriously, but I can't get away from the SPCA, local
environmental politics, and the writing community.
Life is good.
