Captain Neale Jordan lands in Los Angeles after the war, becoming a private detective. Three years down the line he finds himself restless, and sick of the City of Angels. News about the tragic death of a young soldier under his command during the war takes him to San Francisco.

The only clue Andy left them, however, is an old photo of actress Claire Allen. Claire was tragically murdered during the war, her killer never found. From San Francisco to Catalina Island, Neale and Ellen weave their way through politically powerful gangsters, and movie people shaken by the most sensational crime to rock Hollywood since the William Desmond Taylor murder. As Neale and Ellen grow closer romantically, they discover nothing about Andy’s death, or Claire’s, is exactly as it seems. Danger lurks around every hairpin curve for Neale and Ellen, leading to a violent and exciting conclusion. Blending noir mystery with romance, Nightside is the thrilling new entry in the Nostalgia Crime series.
