The Night is Never Black: A Lucky Dey Thriller
How deep would you sink to avenge the one you love? A deadly hit and run targeting a loved one sends L.A. cop Lucky Dey on a five-day rush for justice. Hell-bent for answers to a mystery he struggles to solve, Lucky uncovers a multimillion-dollar kidnapping and extortion plot as old as Chinatown that reaches all the way to the most hallowed office in city hall. With the powers that be angling to take away his badge—this time for good—Lucky damns the rules and plunges headlong into an underground world where the innocent are exploited and the guilty will stop at nothing to protect their darkest secrets.

Doug Richardson cut his teeth writing movies like DIE HARD 2, BAD BOYS, and HOSTAGE. But scratch the surface and discover he thinks there’s a killer inside all of us. His Lucky Dey books exist between the gutter and the glitter of a morally suspect landscape he calls Luckyland—aka Los Angeles—the city of Doug’s birth and where he lives with his wife, two children, four big mutts, and the dead body he’s still semi-convinced is buried in his San Fernando Valley back yard.

Series gets better and better.
Doug Richardson has written another very entertaining book in the Lucky Dey series. With a winding plot that all ties together at the end, to solving old problems and setting the series up for new stories without a BS cliffhanger ending, he's ensures I'll keep reading these books for some time to do come. More, faster, please.
