Inhalt

While the storm rages over CaliforniaâEuros notorious anti-illegal alien Proposition 187, a young woman climbs to the top of the famous Hollywood SignâEuro"and jumps to her death. An undocumented day laborer is murdered. And a disbarred and desperate lawyer in Venice Beach places an ad in a local paper that says: âEuro²Will Do Anything For Money."Private investigator Duke Rogers, infamous for solving the case of murdered starlet Teddie Matson, feels he must do âEuro²penance" for his inadvertent part in her death. To that end, he takes on the case of Carlos, the murdered day-laborer, as a favor to his sister Marisol, the housekeeper down the street from DukeâEuros house.Duke must figure out what ties together CarlosâEuro murder, the ex-lawyerâEuros desperate ad and the woman jumping from the sign? And who is the mysterious âEuro²coyote"? Amid the controversial political storm surrounding CaliforniaâEuros Proposition 187, Duke and his very unPC sidekick Jack are on the case. They slingshot from the Hollywood Sign to Venice Beach. From East Hollywood to the âEuro²suicide bridge" in Pasadena, and from SmugglerâEuros Gulch near the Mexican border back to L.A. again. Their mission catapults them through a labyrinth of murder, intrigue and corruption of church and state that hovers around the immigration debate in this searing sequel to the explosive Shamus Award-winning novel White Heat.Praise for BROKEN WINDOWS:âEuro²Fans of downbeat PI fiction will be satisfiedâEuro¦with Shamus Award winner MarksâEuros solid sequel to 2012âEuros White Heat." âEuro"Publishers WeeklyâEuro²Paul D. MarksâEuro Broken Windows is extraordinary. While the plot is both fascinating and timely, the real beauty of Broken Windows lies in his gorgeous authorial voice." âEuro"Betty Webb, Mystery SceneâEuro²Marks expertly drops readers (returning and new) into DukeâEuros worldâEuro"1994 Los AngelesâEuro"from the start, and the prologue is a doozy. In it, a young woman climbs to the top of the Hollywood sign and jumps off. The scene isnâEurot exploitative, but it is realistic and heart-wrenching in its realism. Although itâEuros set in 1994, itâEuros eerie how timely this story is. ThereâEuros an undeniable feeling of unease that threads through the narrative, which virtually oozes with the grit, glitz, and attitude of L.A. in the âEuro90s. IâEurom an ecstatic new fan of DukeâEuros." âEuro"Kristin Centorcelli, Criminal ElementâEuro²This electrifying novel will jolt your sensibilities, stir your conscience and give every reader plenty of ammunition for the next mixed group where the I-word is spoken!" âEuro"John Dwaine McKenna, The Mysterious Book ReportâEuro²[T]his entertaining tale, has the sly humour of a modern-day Philip Marlowe and a similar penchant for attracting trouble. Marks writes with an easy style that carries you through the story and creates engaging characters to spike your interest." âEuro"Vicki Weisfeld, Crime Fiction Lover
