A tantalizing LA Thriller by Legendary American Writer, Craig Nova, for fans of Michael Connelly and James Ellroy.
Quinn O'Farrell is a modern-day fixer in Los Angeles - he cleans up other people's messes. Rich people's messes. For a lot of money. He's so good that he's become indispensable to Hollywood moguls and he's managed to construct a working moral framework so that he can live with himself. That is until a new neighbor moves next door, Rose Marie, who works with terminally ill teens. Against all his survival instincts, Quinn falls in love with Rose Marie and then her uncanny patients, who shine a spotlight into his soul. When a client steps over the line and Quinn is hired to clean up after a reprehensible crime, Quinn's carefully constructed ethical house of cards comes crashing down. Hell hath no fury like a man who has deceived himself and Quinn unleashes his own storm of reckoning that threatens to take down the power elite in Hollywood and he doesn't care who goes down with them, even if that includes himself.
Double Solitaire is the first in a series of LA-based thrillers featuring Quinn O'Farrell, The Cleaner. As with all Nova's deeply intuitive fiction, Quinn is an unforgettable living force in a setting that needs no fiction to be any weirder than it is: contemporary Hollywood.
