Sunset Express (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike Series #6)

The author of The Monkey's Raincoat returns with wisecracking private eye Elvis Cole, who finds himself embroiled in a controversial LA murder case. When a wealthy entrepreneur appears to have murdered his wife, a hot-shot defense attorney takes the case and hires Elvis to find proof that the LAPD tampered with the evidence. But as Elvis investigates, he becomes more suspicious of the media-loving lawyer than the cops. Simultaneous hardcover release from Hyperion. 3 cassettes.
