    About this audiobook

    With his novel City of Fire, Robert Ellis debuted a dynamic new character in Los Angeles detective Lena Gamble, but also captured a vivid picture of the city of Los Angeles. Readers and critics made City of Fire an instant phenomenon, as the book became a Los Angeles Times bestseller and was named a top summer read by People magazine, USA Today, and The New York Times.

    Now Lena Gamble is a cop held in disgrace by department higher-ups for the explosive way the Romeo case played out, though she's still hailed as a hero by her colleagues for catching the killer. For her punishment, she hasn't handled a real murder investigation in eight months. When the chief finally tosses her a case, she's thrilled until she gets a look at the scene and realizes he's probably setting her up to be exiled once and for all: The victim is unidentified, and there are no witnesses, and no leads. Just the body, chopped into pieces and dropped in a Dumpster—gruesome enough to ensure that once again the media will be following Lena's every move.

    Robert Ellis delivers another high-speed, commercial, powerful read, featuring one of the most engaging and vibrant police characters on the shelf today.

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who

      Maybe I missed something, but some major things are left unexplained. For instance why is the girl hung upside-down, drained of blood, and cut into pieces?
    • 3/5
      The book was okay and I’ll read another one by this author but this one was a little heavy on the politics. Making a Cadillac dealer out as a cartoonish greedy two bit car salesman was not helpful. A little more realism would have been better. Isn’t there a heavy duty screen between the front and back seat of police car when transporting murders? The greedy pharmacist billionaire? Maybe someday someone will write a book about greedy Hollywood and the millions authors take in. I’m a capitalist and don’t have a problem with people making money. But the holier than thou attitude of the entertainment industry is getting tiresome.
