El Dorado: A Haim Baker Mystery - Paperback

by Joel O. Shapiro (Author)

Pinched for a bogus murder wrap in El Cajon, the only way the irreverent, trouble-making private dick Haim Baker can avoid the slammer is to take a job for the man he'd love to kill: Patterson Nobel - the psychopath he took down in El Cajon. Baker must now locate and kill Patterson's mysterious boss - "El Dorado", an infamous crime lord so powerful, so frightening, that the streets are afraid to even whisper his name. And in a wild adventure that thrusts the booze-and-drug-addled Baker into the dark bowels of Hollywood, navigating a bevy of criminals, crazies, femmes and fatales, Baker finds himself fending off the constant dangers of bullets, blows and beautiful women in order to find his new nemesis. Haim Baker will need all of his wits, skills and moxie to survive the death-dealing machinations of the notorious El Dorado.
