"A commendable piece of historical fiction - one that leaves the reader haunted by the ghosts of the city's past." Douglas Kemp, Historical Novel Magazine

1946

Los Angeles has become ground zero in America's anti-Red crusade. The war may have ended, but there are still battles to fight.

When Private Investigator's Kit Comfort and Henry Richman are hired to track down a stolen Jules Verne first edition for magazine publisher Dreiland, they are startled to discover that homicidal traitors and Russian spies are also on the hunt.

Finding the Verne means finding Marlene, the brilliant former Army code-breaker who stole the book and is now in hiding.

Kit and Henry's competitors are deadly serious about reaching Marlene first, and as dangers and betrayals pile up, the detectives race to unravel secrets and decode the Verne connections.

In the struggle to find Marlene and prevent the enemy's escape, the investigators will be tested like never before.

A.D. Price is an Emmy-winning screenwriter and author. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband. Devils in Paradise is her third book.
