Boystown

Introduction by George Easter, Editor and Publisher of Deadly Pleasures Magazine

Legendary LA sleuth Jack Liffey is back, and facing down a changing world, when his brazen daughter Maeve enlists him to help find Benjy--a gay social justice activist gone missing. Meanwhile, a needless act of violence sets off an urban range war between a group of gun-happy poachers and former Soviet paramilitary soldiers in an unlikely location: West Hollywood. Jack, still recovering from heart surgery and grappling with Maeve's aspirations to follow in his footsteps, must save the day before the entire community goes up in flames.

In this latest installment of the Jack Liffey series, John Shannon picks up where he left off, taking readers deep into the many, unexplored communities, enclaves and cultures of Los Angeles that sometimes co-exist, sometimes clash, but always surprise. Fans of Vince Flynn will fall deep into the fast-paced, unpredictable, and dangerous world John Shannon creates.

Widely recognized by mystery authors and critics as one of America's most acclaimed crime fiction writers, John Shannon has authored twenty novels beginning in 1972. His revered Jack Liffey books earned praise from every major publication including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Library Journal.
