A Violent Masterpiece by Jordan Harper

Pull up a chair near the window. This one’s a wild ride, and you’ll want to settle in.

A Violent Masterpiece is the next epic crime novel from Jordan Harper, a story of Los Angeles power brokers and the people living at the edge of it all—and the single shattering incident that threatens to bring the whole thing crashing down.

Los Angeles, right now. America with its back against the wall. A city ready to explode. A Hollywood predator is arrested and ready to tear everything down for his freedom. A young woman vanishes, and men in black rubber gloves clear out her apartment in the dead of night. And a serial killer known as the LA Ripper is on the loose.

Three people—a gonzo nightcrawler live-streaming the city’s chaos, a street lawyer who’s the knife in every gunfight, and a fixer who knows there are no rules, only prices—will find their lives colliding around one enormous, unspeakable crime.

What follows is a breathless descent into the dark heart of the city: secret vaults in Beverly Hills, bloody riots, tech-bro orgies, a fifty-million-dollar wedding, and a conspiracy woven through LA’s most powerful men. It’s brutal, propulsive, and impossible to put down.

Harper, an Edgar Award–winning author, writes crime fiction with teeth. If you loved the relentless momentum of his earlier work, this one will keep you turning pages long after the tide’s gone out.

A fierce, salty, electric read for thriller lovers and noir devotees alike. Come browse—we’d love to slip this one into your bag before you head back over the footbridge.
