Description

A gripping debut thriller from acclaimed screenwriter Scott Frank, Shaker is an L.A. story with elements of Elmore Leonard and Day of the Locust. When Roy Cooper, a stoic "errand runner" for New York criminals, stumbles into a mugging gone wrong in Los Angeles, his life takes a dramatic turn. A viral video captures the incident, and Roy finds himself at the centre of attention - with all the dangers that entails. As he navigates this new reality, he's drawn into a complex web of characters, including a disgraced detective, a young gang leader, and a man from his past who will stop at nothing to claim him. With its darkly humorous tone and pulse-pounding plot, Shaker is a thrilling pacey read that explores the darker side of Los Angeles.
