New Book – To Funk and Die in LA

Nelson George‘s To Funk and Die in LA is the fourth book in his D Hunter crime-fiction series. The follow-up to The Accidental Hunter, The Plot Against Hip Hop, and The Lost Treasures of R&B brings the ex-bodyguard to the City of Angels.

Most of the novel takes place in the LA neighborhoods of Crenshaw, Koreatown, and Pico-Union—areas where black, Asian, and Latino cultures intersect away from the glamour of Hollywood—and echoes of the 1992 riots play a significant role in D’s investigation. In the tradition of Raymond Chandler and Walter Mosley, D Hunter rides through the mean streets of Los Angeles seeking truth and not always finding justice.
