Los Angeles. Christmas, 1967. Detective Ida Young is a couple of years into retirement when she is dragged into investigating the death of a young woman in a hotel room. The murder has the troubling hallmarks of the killer Ida failed to catch twenty years earlier in New York, so she sees the investigation as one last chance at redemption, one last chance to right a decades-old wrong, one last case. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, mob fixer Dante Sanfelipe has put his life savings into a real estate deal for the purchase of a winery in Napa Valley, but when he''s asked to find a bail-jumper as a favour for an old friend, he becomes embroiled in a crime war that threatens not only his plans, but his life as well. Charles is an LAPD cop who is still coping with the fallout of his sacking from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics the previous year. As he''s trying to get his life back on track, he is visited by some of his old colleagues from the Bureau, who inform him that his old mentor has gone missing. When he decides to track down the missing man, he discovers that everything he thought he knew about his sacking is wrong, and that he has unwittingly scratched the surface of a terrifying government conspiracy. Sunset Swing is the fourth and final book in Ray Celestin''s critically acclaimed City Blues series.
