Learn moreRobert B. Parker and Robert Crais fans will enjoy Edgar Award nominee Timothy Hallinan's novels featuring overeducated private eye Simeon Grist. In this third book in the cult series, Grist takes a case that leads him to the phantom neighborhoods of Los Angeles' lost children.
Missing thirteen-year-old Aimee Sorrell ran all the way from Kansas to be a star. But Aimee's trail soon leads Simeon to the city morgue, the first stop on a perilous journey to find out what happens to America's lost children when they go looking for love in all the wrong places.
Timothy Hallinan is the Edgar and Macavity Award–nominated author of over a dozen widely praised books, including the Poke Rafferty Bangkok thrillers and the Junior Bender series. In 2010 he conceived and edited an e-book of original short stories by twenty mystery writers, Shaken: Stories for Japan, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Japanese disaster relief.
Keith Szarabajka has appeared in many films, including The Dark Knight, Missing, and A Perfect World, and on such television shows as The Equalizer, Angel, Cold Case, Golden Years, and Profit. Szarabajka has also appeared in several episodes of Selected Shorts for National Public Radio. He won the 2001 Audie Award for Unabridged Fiction for his reading of Tom Robbins’s Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates and has won several Earphones Awards.
Reviews
“Squeal combines high-octane action, baroque violence, humor, and pathos in a self-assured manner that marks Mr. Hallinan as a capable practitioner of the private-eye tale.”
“A grimly authentic portrait of LA’s sordid subculture.”
“Get a copy of Everything but the Squeal, but be prepared to shut off the phone or fax machine; you won’t want to brook any interruptions once you start it.”
“Hallinan employs skillful pacing, LA color, and Simeon’s attractive persona to grip readers.”
“Treat[s] a grimly fascinating subject matter and location with sharp-voiced style and verve.”
“Hallinan once again supplies a riveting story, and Grist continues to be one of the most intriguing of the new private eyes.”
“A kiddie-porn second case for LA private eye Simeon Grist finds him staking out the Oki-Burger hangout as he looks for thirteen-year-old runaway Aimee Sorrell. Grist borrows Jessica, the savvy teen-age daughter of his good friends Annie and Wyatt, to use as bait…Fast-paced action, with grim views of runaway exploiters and their physically abused prey. Jessica and Grist, meanwhile, make for a nonstereotypical sleuthing duo.”
