A gritty, atmospheric work of hardboiled detective fiction, The Dead Are Discreet introduces Jacob Asch, a cynical and street-smart private investigator working the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles. The novel chronicles Asch's investigation into the death of a beautiful young woman whose connections to a shadowy occult underworld pull him deeper into a web of drugs, sex, and murder. Arthur Lyons writes with a sharp, unsentimental prose style that captures the moral decay of 1970s Southern California with unflinching clarity. Taut and suspenseful, the narrative illustrates how the city's glamorous surface conceals corruption at every level, from Hollywood elites to criminal fringe groups. This debut in the long-running Jacob Asch series established Lyons as a worthy successor to Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald in the tradition of California noir.
