City of Angles - Hardcover

by Jonathan Leaf (Author)

A smart and sexy modern noir set in the steamy underbelly of 21st century Hollywood.

Billy Rosenberg is a workmanlike screenwriter who finds his fate intertwined with would-be starlet Vincenza Morgan in this fiendish and sharp tale of a city where Image always trumps Reality.

Filled with plot twists, wicked humor, and vivid commentary on celebrity culture, author Jonathan Leaf has skillfully crafted a compelling romp which manages to weave murder, drugs, sex cults, modern relationships, and naked ambition together into a tale that lays bare the real Los Angeles--a city where even the angels have an angle.
