All the Lucky Ones Are Dead — Gar Anthony Haywood

L.A. private eye Aaron Gunner investigates a notorious rap artist's suicide while protecting a controversial radio personality.

"The flash and funk of L.A. is vivid, and the cast of characters quirky and memorable," raved Publishers Weekly of last year's When Last Seen Alive. In All the Lucky Ones Are Dead, PI Aaron Gunner comes face-to-face with rap music's power brokers and some bitter enemies from his past.

Gangsta rap superstar C. E. Digga Jones killed himself, yet his father insists he was murdered. With a successful career and a beautiful wife, the Digga's life was picture perfect, but Gunner quickly learns that things aren't always as they seem.

Gunner is also keeping tabs on Sparkle Johnson, an ultraconservative talk radio host. The two don't get along, but when a car bomb explodes, it's clear their mutual adversaries mean business.

With a demanding caseload, and a silver car that's always two steps behind him, Aaron Gunner has his hands full in a top-notch addition to this stellar series.
