LAndmarked for Murder
serves up ten
original stories, a savory stew of deadly criminal passions from some of L.A.'s best contemporary crime writers, including Marathon Madness by Dee Ann Palmer and:
Leaving Slackerland by Gay Degani
Just Like Old Times by G. B. Pool
Making It With Gammy by Darrell James
Sleepy Lagoon Nocturn by Paul D. Marks

"LAndmarked for Murder explores myth and mystery in perhaps the most idealized and misunderstood city in the United States. From a look back to the Sleepy Lagoon murders to a more modern take on downtown Los Angeles through the eyes of a marathoner, this collection spins tales around the places that personify Los Angeles's complexity and contradictions. Kudos to the L.A. Chapter of Sisters in Crime for launching these locally-based anthologies and for encouraging the development of mystery writers!"

PUBLISHER'S REVIEW - "Marathon Madness by Dee Ann Palmer cleverly combines a genuine city landmark, the elegant Biltmore Hotel in downtown L. A., with a landmark yearly event, the L.A. Marathon, in the story of a shocking murder that occurs in the most open of places."
