[Jake Thorne 01] • Dead is Dead

Jake Thorne is a fixer for MGM, the biggest and best of the Studios that rule Hollywood's golden age. If you're a big shot, Jake will sober you up, pay off the cops, and keep it out of the papers. So when a too-young girl shows up strangled in a big director's garden, Jake's on the job.But there's something about the girl that bothers him, and when the usually compliant cops try to warn him off, he decides to find out who she was. His search takes him into the world of abandoned girls, pimps, and porn dealers, and into his own past where he is forced to confront who he was, what he did, and who he has become.
