Sequel to In La-La Land We Trust
Welcome to La-La Land: the dark, neon-bathed Los Angeles of whores, porn-mongers, transsexuals, dopers and winos. Down-on-his-luck private investigator Whistler is watching this freak show when into his life steps Nell Twelvetrees, looking for a bodyguard.
Nell thinks her husband Roger, a famous talk-show host, is aiming to have her killed.
Beautiful, blond, rich and classy, she is a mystery that keeps unfolding, luring Whistler deeper and deeper into trouble. For beneath the smiling face of Roger Twelvetrees there hides a sadistic psychopath for whom lust and violence are one.
Yet nothing in La-La Land is what it seems, for behind the facades of the rich and glamorous lie corruption and depravity. And in the darkness of the twisted mean streets lurks the mysterious Alice … Alice who is spinning an intricate web around the Twelvetrees to settle an old score.
