About this book
Stolen cash is keeping a moving bungalow upright; a detective must identify the killer before a corrupt utility chief brings the evidence crashing down.
On a dark Los Angeles boulevard in the early 1990s, a murder victim is discovered beneath a bungalow stranded mid-move. A homicide detective and the lead house rigger follow material clues embedded in the building’s perilous balance, where concealed heist money determines whether the structure can stand. Before the utility chief sends the scene towards destruction, they must untangle the killing and recover the cash.
