L.A. Dead

Stuart Woods

Former cop turned lawyer Stone Barrington investigates a Hollywood homicide in this "stylish whodunit" (Detroit News) in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Stone's trip to Venice with a fiery Mafia princess is cut short by a frantic phone call from halfway around the world. A celebrity murder has Los Angeles in an uproar--and a former flame pining for Stone's help in more ways than one. When he lands amid Hollywood's sun and sin, Stone must plumb the depths of film society to find the killer, before a court trial rips away his last chance at a life he once desperately wanted...
