Synopsis (from back of book): At the end of a long day battling L.A. street traffic, bike messenger Jace Damon has one last drop to make. But en route to delivering a package for one of the city’s sleaziest defense attorneys, he’s nearly run down by a car, chased through back alleys and shot at. He narrowly manages to escape with his life — and with a package someone will kill for.
LAPD homicide detective Kevin Parker knows better than most that working the right case can make you an instant celebrity. And this case is suddenly taking on the look of the latest “crime of the century”. If he can find the killer, he just might save his once-promising career from skidding to a dead end. But first he’s goint to have to save the messenger, who’s on the run from both the cops and a brutal killer. If there’s one lesson Parker has learned over the years, it’s that in a town built on fantasy and fame, delivering the truth can be deadly.
