Product Description

Product Description

They call him Bird. He makes his living by understanding how Los Angeles operates after the sun goes down. When a French-Vietnamese transplant named Li Nguyen approaches Bird and asks him to protect her sister Song from a jealous boyfriend, Bird reluctantly agrees. But it doesn’t take long for Bird to realize that Song’s troubles go much deeper than a little domestic dispute.

As the bodies start to pile up, Bird finds himself entrenched in a labyrinth of familial rivalries and resentments. From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the slums of Honolulu, it will take all of Bird’s cunning to avoid meeting his own bloody fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars L.A noir rocks 16 Jun 2009
By Ron Bradford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Michael Lion's debut novel should be on the shortlist of any crime fiction aficionado. Lion creates an atmosphere dripping with dread. The protagonist, Bird, has enough morality to make him likeable, and enough of an edge to make him interesting. Fans of Raymond Chandler will enjoy this modern take on sun-baked Los Angeles. The novel was released by a new publishing outfit called New Pulp Press. They've produced some interesting crime fiction, especially for those of us who have gotten bored of the same generic mysteries and crime capers.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Shadows... 17 Jun 2009
By Mandy Miller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
...Comes Bird, a man who means it and doesn't apologize. Perfectly romantic and perfectly heartless, your protagonist negotiates the shadows with wit and charm. Lion's first will keep your warm when you need a jacket, and feed ya, like a sandwich.
4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended 25 Feb 2013

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Excellent head boiled detective novel. Like the best in this genre the hero has a moral code (although he has a checkered past). This is fast paced and well written. I save 5 stars for Chandler and the like. but i highly recommend this book.
