A Crush Novel
by Phoef Sutton
Los Angeles bodyguard/bouncer Caleb Rush (Crush) is back in this second Crush novel.
When Rachel Fury, a con-artist friend who'd vanished for a couple of years after a big scam, reappears in Hollywood under a new name as a glitzy movie star, she hires Crush as a bodyguard, and he quickly gets drawn into a criminal mess that requires all his brawn, skill, and savvy to negotiate. It's rich with Hollywood lore, New Orleans charm, snappy dialogue, fast-paced action, and noir atmosphere.
"Starred Review. Fast, light, and witty, Sutton's second novel is a pleasure." - Kirkus
"The violence and sex mixed with the ongoing multiple cons give this something of an R-rated Scooby-Doo feel, while the multiplicity of suspects and red herrings is straight out of Agatha Christie. Calm, steady Crush makes a wonderful lead." - Publishers Weekly
