Description
The Devil Raises His Own by Scott Phillips is a dark historical adventure set in early Hollywood. In 1916, photographer Bill Ogden has opened a portrait studio amidst the seedy noir world of the film industry. When a series of grisly murders takes place across Los Angeles, Bill and his granddaughter Flavia are pulled into events as tangled as anything this side of a classic noir thriller. As they navigate the city's underbelly, they encounter a cast of unforgettable characters - dreamers, opportunists, washed-up former stars, and starry-eyed newcomers. The Devil Raises His Own is a stripped-down noir thriller that also offers a panoramic look at Los Angeles at the beginning of motion pictures. This gripping crime saga captures the beginnings of the Hollywood studio system and the "blue movie" industry that grows up alongside it. With its blend of historical detail and thrilling plot, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of Western noir.
