About this product
Product Information
Jack Liffey's former mistress reappears to plead for the P.I.'s help finding her missing niece. The hunt leads Liffey to Monterey Park, where he dives into an undercurrent of racial tension that puts the peace of the small suburb in jeopardy. Meanwhile, a fire burns in the hills above Los Angeles, offering a sinister reminder that few events in life are coincidental. But Liffey's sudden troubles with racist gangs, teenage revolutionaries, and South African nutjobs are dwarfed by the threat his old mistress poses to his relationships with his new girlfriend and his recently reconciled lesbian daughter. What's a hard-boiled dick to do? Exploding with wry wit, Chinese Beverly Hills is tense and thought-provoking, with the quirkiness that Shannon's fans have come to expect.

Readers who like gritty noir leavened by genuine heart and a healthy dollop of erudition will love Shannon's Jack Liffey mysteries. Shannon delivers a tour-de-force climax, the action believably, and beautifully, driven by each character's needs., Shannon is a fine writer. Make no mistake, this is the real L.A., real people, some of them the kind you cross the street to avoid, looking everywhere but at them. Take a walk with Jack Liffey, a brave and decent man. Take a look at Raymond Chandler's mean streets at the millennium., Jack's toughness and compassion along with his literate style, make this a strong entry in the private eye genre., Perhaps it's because his stories make readers examine their own attitudes and beliefs as much as the crimes on the page. But while this isn't simple escapism, Shannon has mastered the most essential element of the genre, giving us a guy we want to stand shoulder to shoulder with while we try to make sense out of a senseless universe., Shannon matches the master, Raymond Chandler, in several key areas, notably location, characterization and dialogue., John Shannon remains one of the lesser-known Los Angeles-based crime authors working today. What's all the more frustrating is that he is also one of the very best. The Chinese Beverly Hills ably demonstrates why and stands as another noteworthy addition to this rewarding series., The most interesting new private detective to lift his fedora over the horizon since Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins!, The landscape of Los Angeles, both actually and metaphorically, has been deconstructed by writers from West to Chandler to Didion, but never quite as artfully as John Shannon does it... A fine, interesting read., For too long, Shannon has been an unsung hero of the modern crime novel. Shannon has weitten an intelligent surprising book, found the heart of his working-class characters, and delvered a first-rate thriller in the bargain.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
