The Forgotten Addiction

"Lion has been compared to Raymond Chandler and in many ways this is classic noir."—A Reviewer

Los Angeles, 1993. The City is burning itself down. Murder is king. And Bird is back, right in the middle of the blaze. Still blaming himself for the death of the Butcher’s Granddaughter, Bird is holed up in his girlfriend’s apartment and trying to keep the demons at bay. But the City won’t leave him alone, won’t let him grieve. When the desperate father of a missing UCLA co-ed finds Bird and pleads with him to help find his daughter, Bird sees a path to personal redemption and takes it. It may be the last mistake he ever makes. From penthouse office suites to strip club poker games, Bird soon learns that the girl’s disappearance may have been of her own making. But somewhere along the way she drew the interest of L.A.’s darkest corners, and in them Bird will have to choose between his own life and that of a woman he has never met.
