ANGEL CITY (2016)

"Introducing ANGEL CITY, a hard-boiled 1930s noir starring Dolores Dare, previous Hollywood hopeful and current enforcer for the Volante mob. When her best friend turns up dead in a dumpster behind the Chinese Theater, Dolores starts her own investigation of the 'April Fool's Killer.' As she gets closer to the truth, the studios, the corrupt homicide division, and even her own gangland contacts work to cover up the scandal. Has she bitten off more than she can chew?"

"Frances Faye and Dolores Dare were best friends, once upon a time; small town girls with cardboard suitcases and dreams of Hollywood stardom. But that was the past. Now, Frances has been murdered, and the crooked Los Angeles cops don't care enough to solve the crime. Dolores hunts for the murderer everywhere, from high-end studio lots to seedy gambling dens. But as she gets closer to unraveling the mystery, she also nears a betrayal that hits close to home."

"Dolores Dare follows a lead on the April Fool's Killer to the Ambassador Hotel, where the crooked world of Los Angeles gangsters meets the lobster-and-champagne set from Hollywood. With the help of dogged reporter Aggie Underwood, can Dolores get close to the killer without ending up in trouble herself? 'A goldenage noir with knuckles of brass-ANGEL CITY is a gorgeous place to visit.' - Sam Humphries (Jonesy, Green Lantern)"

"When MGM's top star is linked to the April Fools murder, the studio will go to great, dangerous lengths to shut down the rumors. Meanwhile, Dolores calls on her skills as a mob enforcer to get answers from Brenda's driver, Rollo. But without Gino Volante's protection, Dolores may be out of her depth - and the 'fixers' will let her know it."

"On the run from the law, Dolores and Joe have more heat than they can handle as they dodge bullets in Little Tokyo, and studio smears in the papers. But they discover hope in each other - and find some unlikely allies in a Boyle Heights garage."

"In the thrilling conclusion, Dolores and Joe must fight their way out of a tight corner, and go up against the cops, the mob, and even city hall to get justice for Frances's murder. But even if they find the people responsible, can Dolores wring a confession from them before the clock runs out?"
