The Concrete River: A Jack Liffey Mystery

"John Shannon's literary mysteries deserve a much wider audience. They are tough, wry, graceful, humane, deeply engaged with the world. The Jack Liffey series is a major re-imagining of Los Angeles."—Los Angeles Times Book Review

Jack Liffey's lost everything: his job, his lovely wife, his daughter. His first case as a Los Angeles child-finder becomes a fight for redemption and for life itself, as he's swept into a world gone mad around him.
