Sunset Swing

In the vibrant yet volatile Los Angeles of Christmas 1967, a chilling wave of terror grips the city as a serial killer preys on unsuspecting victims. Nurse Kerry Gaudet arrives, desperate to locate her missing brother amidst the chaos, fearing he may have fallen victim to the murderer. Meanwhile, the sharp-witted, recently retired private investigator Ida Young is reluctantly drawn back into the fray when her name is inexplicably linked to a new murder victim found in a motel, forcing her to cooperate with the LAPD. Concurrently, mob fixer Dante Sanfelippo seeks to escape his criminal past by investing in a Napa Valley winery, but is tasked with one final, urgent mission for the Mob: track down a bail jumper before time runs out, a quest that plunges him into a dangerous conspiracy. As Ida’s investigation uncovers cryptic clues, her friend, the legendary Louis Armstrong, arrives in the city. Dante's perilous path ultimately intertwines with a terrifying, city-wide secret that powerful figures will kill to protect. "Sunset Swing," the final installment of Ray Celestin's acclaimed American crime quartet, masterfully weaves these disparate threads into an unforgettable tapestry of murder, madness, and deep-seated conspiracy, painting a vivid portrait of a city teetering on the edge.
