Ocean Park
by Michael Walsh
All Detective Matt Conley ever wanted was to raise a family in Ocean Park with his stunning and ambitious wife Lisa. When a corpse is found in his church, Matt begins a journey that reveals corruption and decay in his city and deceit in his marriage. As he searches for the murderer of a local businessman, a gang war erupts for control of the city's drug trade, and the body count rises. With his reluctant new partner, Detective Lloyd Kendricks, Matt weaves his way through the puzzling connections between street gangs, politicians, bikers, and a private kink club. Will their unlikely alliance be enough to return Matt's beloved hometown to its halcyon days? And when the day ends, will he find the faith he needs to rebuild his crumbling marriage?
