Moonlight Special

City of Devils #6

Los Angeles. Where the sun is bright, the beaches inviting, and the orange groves stretch to the horizon. Organized crime is a thing of the past, and these streets are the safest in the nation. Life is good in the City of Angels. That’s what they say, anyway.

The truth is that the mob owns the town, lock, stock, barrel. Honest police catch silver bullets, and the only way to survive is to be bought. Detective Frank Wolfman thought he could stay clean by getting a little dirty, but in the City of Devils, no one is half a sinner.

To save his friend, Frank must unearth every rotten decision he’s ever made in his life and unravel the secret of a “moonlight special.” But the answer is strangled in the oily tentacles of this town and the City of Devils keeps its secrets.

  • "Robinson’s writing is // elegantly grim and moody, sexy and inviting, rich and edgy. Naturally, I can’t top his own wording: “honey drizzled on barbed wire.” Fine-tuned, not a word wasted, until every moment, every understated look, every word and, most importantly, every character bleeds. // Justin Robinson is a master class writers as skilled as he’s imaginative and soulful, making him the perfect storyteller."

    Julie Hutchings, author of the Harpy trilogy and the Vampires of Fate series

  • "Everything in Moonlight Special is delivered with the force of a prizefighter’s haymaker, down to the last line. // Robinson takes us nose first into the scents and smells of the City of Devils, all the grit and grime, the nightclub’s swirling smoke, orange blossoms in the hills outside of town, now and then a hint of boudoir. And blood. "

    - A. J. Sikes, author of the Redemption trilogy
