Ghosttown is a noir masterpiece. One of the most evocative LA crime novels ever written. |

Lambert's Los Angeles is a wickedly funny, noir, edgy, grifty, politically incorrect Ellis Island West where Crash meets Day of the Locust with a little David Lynch thrown in. Lambert is a natural writer with a unique ear for LA argot, neighborhoods and characters. Anyone who loves contemporary noir and dark crime fiction should read the Dogtown Trilogy. You owe it to yourself. |

For these characters, one book was not enough, now we have three and I still feel shorted. After this I will miss Whitney and Lupe and the strange, wonderful people they encounter. I will miss them for a long, long time. |
