A booze-addled, perpetually broke, down-on-his-luck private dick finds himself sprawled across the floor of his dingy office in the bowels of one of L.A.’s not-so-beautiful neighborhoods. Two bodies share his quarters; one the mysterious client who hired him not ten minutes ago, the other his faithful and beloved secretary. The client is minus his left shoe…
And so begins an incredible journey through the L.A. underworld as Jake Donahue vows to find out two things – who killed his beloved Agnes, and who really was this strange wealthy man who perished and had one shoe taken from him. Was he killed for the shoe? For what was inside the shoe? And who is this annoying but attractive oversexed teenager and this needy raven-haired beauty who turn out to be pivotal to his entire investigation.
Set against the seamy backdrop of late-1970’s L.A., Jake Donahue will follow a trail which will lead him to places he never knew existed, and into a world of technology he didn’t know had yet been discovered. The danger is all too real, and Donahue finds himself searching for a mastermind of startling proportions, all the while not only fighting for justice, but also for his very life.
