INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
When a revolutionary drug promises godlike intelligence, one broken detective becomes humanity's last defense.
Private investigator Jake Cutter has seen the worst of Los Angeles, but nothing prepares him for the case that begins with a young scientist's mysterious death. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers a biotech empire pushing the limits of human consciousness—and a charismatic cult leader determined to unleash its terrifying potential on the world.
Alyssa Bancroft, once the brilliant scientist behind the project, has turned against the people who created it. Haunted by what she's helped unleash, she joins forces with Jake in a desperate race to stop an experiment that could forever alter the human mind.
The Cliffs of Palos Verdes is dark and suspenseful, shot through with gallows humor, transplanting noir Los Angeles into the present day like a fresh shot of whiskey in a well-worn glass.
