Angel with a Dirty Face

Some rides change your life. Others might end it. Los Angeles is a city of dreams-but for rideshare driver Leslie Lai, it's a neon-lit hellscape crawling with liars, drunks, cheaters, and entitled narcissists. He's spent years chauffeuring the worst of humanity, watching their cruelty, selfishness, and secrets unfold in the back seat of his car. He doesn't just dislike people-he despises them.

Then Lina Carter steps into his car. She's stunning. Mysterious. And running from something.

Lina's husband, Danny Carter, is a wealthy, powerful man with secrets worth killing for. When she confesses the truth about her abusive marriage and her desperate need to escape, Leslie is drawn into a dangerous world of deception, crime, and desire.

But in a city where everyone has an angle, is Lina a victim-or a trap?

As the walls close in and the lies unravel, Leslie will have to decide just how far he's willing to go for a woman he barely knows. Because nothing in Los Angeles is ever what it seems.

A cinematic novel that unfolds like a classic noir film, Angel with a Dirty Face blends Hitchcockian suspense with razor-sharp storytelling-where every shadow hides a secret, and every truth is a deception.

A pulse-pounding noir thriller perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Drive, L.A. Confidential, and classic Hitchcockian suspense.
