The Cheshire moon is out tonight, a thin, sharp smile lurking among the stars...and nobody in L.A. is going to get any sleep. Robert Ferrigno's brilliant first novel, The Horse Latitudes, was lauded as "the most memorable fiction debut of the season" by Time magazine, "riveting, breathtaking, extraordinary" by Playboy, and "a double-barreled shotgun of a novel" by The Boston Sunday Globe. Ferrigno's dazzlingly sure handling of noir fiction, his cleverly conceived characters, and explosive plotting created a best-seller worthy of the highest praise, and The Cheshire Moon takes Ferrigno's skill even further, on a dizzying roller coaster of greed, lust, and redemption. Quinn is a former investigative reporter who got burned by a source two years ago, with fatal consequences. These days he sticks to celebrity interviews and games of go fish! with his daughter, but when a friend from the bad old days is found dead, it's up to Quinn and his sultry partner, Jen Takamura, to find the killer. The search leads from high-profile politicos to Rubenesque talk-show queens, silken criminals to dessicated ex-movie stars. Caught in a tightening spiral, Quinn and Jen are drawn into ever deeper and more dangerous passions, a sizzling counterpoint to the frustrated rage of the killer who is now stalking them. Filled with a hypnotic sense of evil, charged with a comic energy and a violently dark eroticism, The Cheshire Moon is a noir Beauty and the Beast that perfectly captures the heat and smoke of southern California.
