””Lost Hills” är Lee Goldberg när han är som bäst.” – Michael Connelly, New York Times-bästsäljande författare. ”Rysligt spännande! ”Lost Hills” är den perfekta kombinationen av action och spänning, inte minst är Eve Ronin en av de bästa, nya kvinnliga karaktärerna på åratal.

From Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Timesbestselling author, comes the darkest, most hard-boiled work of his career...This hand-grenade of pure noir features two, never-before-published crime stories about Ray Boyd, an ex-con traveling the open road in a used, black-and-white, Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Ray is the anti-Reacher. He doesn't help people in trouble. He helps himself.Fair warning, these two violent, sexually explicit stories -- Ray Boyd isn't Stupid and Occasional Risk -- mark a sharp departure from the police procedurals and fast-moving thrillers that Goldberg is known for, though they feature the same ingenious plotting, colorful characters, and outrageous wit of his best-loved work. They are, as he says in his lively introduction, a test run. If there is an enthusiastic response to the stories, he says that Ray Boyd will be back... Praise for Crown Vic "Diamond hard noir. No holds barred, no punches pulled. There's a whole lot of fun to be had. Clever stories that riff on the classics. Sharp, to-the-point, and briskly-written. More Ray Boyd please, Mr. Goldberg." CrimeTime FM "Crown Vic's stories are a marvelous mash-up of Dan J. Marlowe's early Earl Drake novels - The Name of the Game is Death, Endless Hour - and the erotic thrillers so popular in video stores during the 1990s. But Ray, even with all his failings, is a Lee Goldberg character: observant, witty, at times downright funny - for the reader at least - and a heck of a good escape for all of us drab work-a-day slobs." Gravetapping *****"A fun departure for Goldberg and a throwback to the thrilling and erotic men's adventure novels of the 1970s." Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine "And here I thought that Lee Goldberg was such a nice boy...I mean, the man wrote episodes of Diagnosis Murder! And its tie-ins! But in Crown Vic, Goldberg unleashes the beast with two violent, sexually explicit and previously unpublished stories that just reek of 1950s pulp paperbacks." The Thrilling DetectivePraise for Lee Goldberg's Books"Goldberg is a master of his craft." Library Journal"Thriller fiction at its absolute finest." Lee Child"Goldberg's thrillers are some of the wittiest around." CrimeReads"One of crime writing's true pros. Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake would've loved this wild heist." Ace Atkins"Goldberg is every bit the equal of Michael Connelly." Providence Journal"One of America's greatest crime and thriller writers." Garry Disher"A cut above the rest." Philadelphia Inquirer""Lee Goldberg puts the pro in police procedural." Meg Gardiner"A cop novel so good it makes much of the old guard read like they're going through the motions until they can retire." Booklist"A heroine for the ages." Michael Connelly"Goldberg proves again that he is a master storyteller." Mystery & Suspense Magazine"Goldberg walks a tightrope between suspense and humor and never slips." Linwood Barclay"Goldberg's fast-paced prose should put this one on the radar of every crime-fiction fan." National Public Radio

"Hell comes to Southern California every October. It rides in on searing Santa Ana winds that blast at near hurricane force, igniting voracious wildfires. Master thief Danny Cole longs for the flames. A tsunami of fire is exactly what he needs to pull off a daring crime and avenge a fallen friend. As the most devastating firestorms in Los Angeles's history scorch the hills of Malibu, relentless arson investigator Walter Sharpe and his wild card of a new partner, Andrew Walker, a former US marshal, suspect that someone set the massive blazes intentionally, a terrifying means to an unknown end."--Provided by publisher.

A SAMPLING OF THE CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR LEE GOLDBERG: "A high-octane mystery that moves like a bullet-train!" Janet Evanovich"Can books be better than television? You bet they can -- when Lee Goldberg's writing them," Lee Child"Leaves you guessing right up until the heart-stopping ending," Lisa Gardner"Lee Goldberg can plot and write with the best of them," Mystery Scene Magazine"If great pacing with awesome characters is what keeps you up at night, then make a pot of coffee and open this book."

Chicago Sun Times"Lee is one of my favorite writers for so many reasons--plotting, character, or his incredible sense of humor. Suffice to say that Goldberg is one infinitely readable master of crime fiction, and King City is Lee at his best." -Craig Johnson"You'd be hard-pressed to find another recent work that provides so many hip and humorous moments," Bookgasm

"A catastrophic wildfire scorches the Santa Monica Mountains, exposing the charred remains of a woman who disappeared years ago. The investigation is assigned to Eve Ronin, the youngest homicide detective in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, a position that forces her to prove herself again and again. This time, though, she has much more to prove. Bones don't lie, and these have a horrific story to tell. Eve tirelessly digs into the past, unearthing dark secrets that reveal nothing about the case is as it seems. With almost no one she can trust, her relentless pursuit of justice for the forgotten dead could put Eve's own life in peril."--

Aliens, Blade Runner, Dune, Mad Max, Return of the Jedi, the Star Trek series, Blue Thunder, Cocoon, Enemy Mine, Robocop, 2010, War Games... these are all movies that defined science fiction films in the 1980s.

In the 1980s, long before Lee Goldberg became a #1 New York Times bestselling author and successful TV writer/producer, he paid his UCLA tuition and rent by working as a freelance journalist covering the entertainment industry. His first, big interviews was with one of his idols, screenwriter Richard Maibaum, who wrote most of the James Bond movies. That lengthy, controversial, and award-winning interview, first published in the UCLA Daily Bruin and later reprinted in Starlog Magazine, was the beginning of Lee's extensive 007 coverage. Over the next few years, his Bond-related interviews for Starlog and other publications included actors Barry Nelson (the first man to play James Bond in TV's Casino Royale), George Lazenby (the one-time Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service), Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton, screenwriters Tom Mankiewicz, Michael Wilson and Lorenzo Semple Jr., and directors John Glen and Peter Hunt. Those interviews and more, quoted for decades in reference books about the Bond films, are now collected for the first time, in their original form, in this entertaining, and unique volume.This book, the first in a series of Goldberg's collected Hollywood journalism, isn't an exhaustive, detailed examination of the Bond films. Instead it's an intriguing snapshot of filmmaking in the 1980s, a revealing look at the creation of the Bond films...and perhaps also offers a glimpse into Goldberg's formative years as a writer, and how the lessons learned from his interviews may have shaped his own career as an acclaimed novelist and screenwriter.
