A gritty hard-boiled crime novel, Three with a Bullet thrusts readers into the seedy underbelly of the Los Angeles music industry, where private investigator Jacob Asch takes on a case that quickly spirals into a deadly web of drugs, corruption, and murder. When a rock music promoter hires Asch to find a missing singer, the trail uncovers a ruthless cocaine trafficking operation with powerful enemies willing to kill to protect their secrets. Arthur Lyons writes with the sharp, punchy authority of the great noir tradition, channelling the spirit of Raymond Chandler while carving out his own unmistakably cynical voice. The narrative moves with relentless momentum, balancing atmospheric tension with razor-sharp dialogue that keeps the reader hooked until the final, explosive confrontation.
