The Four Last Things

Edgar Award finalist Timothy Hallinan continues his six-book Simeon Grist series with this white-knuckle mystery¿a must-listen for fans of Robert B. Parker¿s Spenser novels.

Simeon Grist knows LA inside and out¿the sex for sale, the chic seductions, every rip-off from City Hall to Venice. So when he¿s hired by a Hollywood recording company to shadow one Sally Oldfield, suspected of embezzlement, Grist discovers she¿s entangled in the Church of the Eternal Moment¿a million-dollar religious scam built around a twelve-year-old channeler and the voice of a man who has been dead for a millennium. When Sally turns up dead, Simeon knows he¿s become the next target of a very flesh-and-blood entity waiting in the back alleys of sin and salvation to give him a brutal look at the four last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell¿revelations he could definitely live without.
