Description
To combat the organized crime rings threatening to overwhelm 1950s Los Angeles, the LAPD sends in Harvey Slater, a detective authorized off-the-books to take care of "untouchable" criminal problems...
Los Angeles in the 1950s is a place of contrast. It's home to the bright lights and movie stars of Hollywood's golden age... and a hotbed of organized crime muscling in on Mickey Cohen's turf. But LAPD has a plan-Harvey Slater, a detective authorized off-the-books to take care of "untouchable" criminal problems.
The criminals aren't the only untouchable thing Slater's going after, though. When his captain's absent daughter returns, Slater quickly finds himself entangled in the trouble she brings with her... and her ties to his other cases!
From writer Bryce Carlson (Zombie Tales) and artist Vanesa Del Rey (The Creeping Below), experience the entire dark, violent, and sensual look into corruption on both sides of the law, inspired by the true history of LA and collected into one volume for the first time!
