A Pacific Murder

A battered body is found floating in the Pacific Ocean along the cliffs of the small and very wealthy city of Pacific Verde located in the greater Los Angeles area. The local police assume the man either slipped off the edge of the cliffs or chose to jump to his death onto the rocks below. The true cause of death is revealed when the victim is rolled over. Local detective Diana du Coeur is assigned to the murder. The identity of the murder victim pulls in the Los Angeles Police Department to the investigation and the whole of downtown Los Angeles is shaken by the crime and scandalous implications that arise with the findings of the police. LAPD detective Chris Morrison teams with Diana and together they uncover a ruthless killer at the heart of criminal and political tangle directing a complicated and deadly push for money and power.
