Down in the Valley - Tapa blanda

The first book in the Vic Daniel series. At 6’7¼” in his outsized Hawaiian shirt, invisible he isn’t. His part-time assistant Sara is 110% punk and 0% poet. His office is off the sleazy end of Hollywood Boulevard, between a lousy Vietnamese take-out and a vacant lot. But for a soft touch with a sharp wit – no job too small, divorce work undertaken, anything illegal considered – Vic Daniel’s your main man. And now Sara’s lost her mother, the high school’s running a dope ring and someone’s rearranged his office in a tasteful shade of charcoal...
