The devil raises his own / by Phillips, Scott,1961-author.;
"Los Angeles, 1916: Photographer Bill Ogden has opened a portrait studio in the seedy noir world of early Hollywood, where he is joined by his granddaughter, Flavia -- a woman in need of a fresh start after bludgeoning her drunken, abusive husband to death in Wichita. Though his business is legit, Bill finds himself brushing up against the "blue movie" porn industry growing in the shadows of the motion picture mainstream. When a series of grisly murders take place across the city, Bill and his capable granddaughter are pulled into events as tricky and tangled as anything this side of The Big Sleep. We meet dreamers, opportunists, washed-up former stars and starry-eyed newcomers, a cast of unforgettable characters living on the margins looking to make a quick buck, launch a career, or just keep their family together. The Devil Raises His Own is at once a stripped-down noir thriller, and a panoramic look at Los Angeles at the beginning of motion pictures -- a Boogie Nights set in the film industry's nascence from one of the best crime novelists working today"--

Desert star [sound recording] / by Connelly, Michael,1956-author.; Hachette Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Titus Welliver, Christine Lakin, Peter Giles."A year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralization, and endless red tape.

For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him but that he hasn't been able to crack-the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free.

The last good year : seven games that ended an era / by Cox, Damien,1961-author.;
"Twenty-five years later, it's still the most talked-about NHL playoff series ever played. We may never again see a series like it. Before Gary Bettman, the lockouts, and the explosion of salaries. Before all the NHL's old barns were torn down to make way for bigger, glitzier rinks. Before expansion and parity across the league, just about anything could happen on the ice, and often did. It was an era when huge personalities dominated the sport, and willpower was often enough to win games. And in the spring of 1993, some of the biggest talents and biggest personalities were on a collision course. The Cinderella Maple Leafs had somehow beaten the mighty Red Wings and then, just as improbably, the St. Louis Blues. Wayne Gretzky's Kings had just torn through the Oilers and the Flames. When they faced each other in the conference final, the result would be the series Gretzky called the best he ever played--a series that fans still talk about passionately 25 years later. Told through the stories of seven central characters, The Last Good Year gives an intimate account not just of an era-defining seven games, but of what the series meant to the men who were changed by it: Marty McSorley, the tough guy who took his whole team on his shoulders; Doug Gilmour, the emerging superstar; celebrity owner Bruce McNall; Bill Berg, best-known checking winger in the world; Kelly Hrudy, the Kings' goalie who would go on to become a Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster; Kerry Fraser, who would become the game's most infamous referee; and two very different captains, Toronto's bull in a china shop, Wendel Clark, and the immortal Wayne Gretzky. Taking us back to that feverish spring, Damien Cox also takes us behind the scenes and into the lives of those who shone brightest during those two weeks: players who made Herculean efforts to spur on the team, from dropping the gloves to spectacular goals and saves when they were most needed, and the referee whose view of one play changed history for a generation of fans. Fast-paced, authoritative, and galvanized by the same love of the game that made the series so unforgettable, The Last Good Year is a glorious testament to a moment hockey fans will never forget."--
