Years since inheriting his famous father's private investigation agency, Ellis Dunaway is a man out of time. He is also out of money, clients, and control of his drug habit. A simple favor for his coke dealer-finding out what happened to the guy he let stay in his Malibu rental house-sets off a series of increasingly violent encounters as the missing man turns out to be connected to one of L.A.'s most powerful families and a brutal cartel called the Black Fist. Traversing the city in his father's classic Porsche-from yacht clubs to shopping malls to soundstages-the case gets progressively complicated and personal, demanding that Ellis confront his failures as a boyfriend, a one-time screenwriter, a detective, and a son. When he discovers that his father was investigating the Black Fist before his sudden, suspicious death, everything changes. Or, worse yet, nothing changes, and history repeats itself. Full of piercing insights about American culture and identity, expectations and family dynamics, THE LONELIEST PLACES is at once a mystery and a portrait of a man haunted by a past he never outgrew and a future he never began.
