β¦ Synopsis
A hardboiled valentine to the Golden State, That Left Turn at Albuquerque marks the return of noir master Scott Phillips.
Β
Douglas Rigby, attorney-at-law, is bankrupt. Heβs just sunk his last $200,000βa clandestine βloanβ from his last remaining client, former bigshot TV exec Glenn Haskillβinto a cocaine deal gone wrong. The lesson? Never trust anyone else with the dirty work. Desperate to get back on top, Rigby formulates an art forgery scheme involving one of Glennβs priceless paintings, a victimless crime. But for Rigby to pull this one off, heβll need to negotiate a whole cast of players with their own agendas, including his wife, his girlfriend, an embittered art forger, Glennβs resentful nurse, and the manβs money-hungry nephew. One misstep, and it all falls apartβwill he be able to save his skin?
Written with hard-knock sensibility and wicked humor, Scott Phillipsβs newest novel will cement him as one of the great crime writers of the 21st century.
