A cold night and a hot tip find Chris Nichols, Private Eye and major irritant to the Los Angeles Police Department, on duty in one of the city’s seamier sections. On a lead he catches a couple ‘morally confused’ John Does delivering someone else’s cargo to the wrong warehouse at two in the morning. Taking his photos, he heads back to the car when he catches something else – a couple ounces of lead. Chris wakes up in the hospital to find the police want to talk to him and his fiancee doesn’t. She’s got a society name, wealth and connections, everything Chris has been working for. And she wants him. But in a new line of work. Now he needs to give the police and his girl answers which he doesn’t have. Set in 1951, Leaving Hollywood the Hard Way follows the hard-boiled detective genre introduced by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. It echos the style of the Phillip Marlowe series with occasional splashes of the sardonic humor that made the Thin Man so popular.

Since I've read all the Dash Hammett and Chandler books already, twice, I'm always happy to find other books in the genre and time period. Luckily, I discovered this one! Has a good "feel" to it, story is interesting, writing is really good, and I enjoyed this book a lot.Product details

Wow! A captivating page turner, very well written. Everything I could have hoped for and more. Just like watching Phillip Marlowe or Mike Hammer
It reads at at fast clip and offers plenty of action. It reminds me of the old Humphrey Bogart movies. The historic setting only adds to the feel. I recommend this for a light evening of mystery.
I really like this book. It's obvious that the authors did a lot of research of Hollywood at that time. The plot and characters kept me interested all of the way through. I hope they will have another Chris Nichols mystery out soon!
ALiked the good guys, didn't like the bad ones. Liked the true love story part and the cleverness of the PI.
"Leaving Hollywood the Hard Way" by Elliot Leach is a great detective story. The language made me think of Columbo, but I think detective Chris Nichols is taller and better looking than Columbo. Anyway, the story is intriguing, the characters rich and life like. All the threads of the plot, including a romantic interest, finally come together in a very satisfying way, but you're kept guessing about "who done it" until the very end. A great read!
