Golden Palms isn't your usual noir. It's funny in places. It's about politics. And the hero - Ted Burek - isn't some jaded private dick or bitter cop with a past. If fact, Ted's not much of a detective at all. He's a low-level political hack looking for some redemption in LA's halls of power. Someone doesn't want to make it easy for him, though. Someone is determined to make trouble for his boss. To get to the bottom of what's going on, Ted will face off with a ghostly gang assassin, radical bicyclists, out-of-town hard boys with murder in their hearts, slick real estate developers, over-confident tech bros, bloviating pols and one strident, but beguiling political activist. As Ted gets closer to the truth and further in over his head, he'll discover just how high the price of justice can be.
