It’s tough times for P.I. Delilah West. She kills a mass shooter at a shopping mall, is hired by a twelve year-old to find his missing Dad…and then she and her wealthy boyfriend’s teenage daughter are taken hostage by a brutal kidnapper. But Delilah’s troubles are only just beginning…
The story keeps you turning pages to watch West confront the devils of crime and heart that imprison her. O'Callaghan captures a multicultural California landscape of freeways and fast food, one that reeks of money and stinks of pain and poverty.
Delilah is a tough P.I. with a realistic vulnerability. her mistakes and emotional turmoil have a refreshing realism.
Clean, springy action and a colorful cast...best of all is the appealing, brassy and vulnerable Delilah.
