Description

Ever Millen is in LA, losing his mind.
He’s landed in the City of Angels seeking the truth about the death of his father, an abstract expressionist painter whose work has fallen out of favour. Ever soon discovers that revenge doesn’t come easy.
But then, by chance, he meets the beautiful, enigmatic Lomita Nairn, a woman almost fifty years his senior, his world is changed for ever and he sees what he must do to save them both.
Part noir-thriller, part oddball-romance, part philosophical investigation into the nature of the human soul, Lomita For Ever is rich with wisdom and sympathy.

'A tremendous novel, written with great style and assurance. A compelling, edgy, noir narrative recounted in a tone of voice that is at once audacious, coolly knowing, highly observant and wryly funny. And as a bonus a remarkable, dark portrait of Los Angeles city of damaged angels.' William Boyd

A tremendously well written and gripping story. I loved it. This will definitely not be my last book by this author. It was funny and tragic and fantastic x

Not always an easy read but well worth persevering. I was attracted by the author's name and background and enjoyed his lavish and lush writing style.

The plot was well thought through and original and the characters well drawn and in one case, unforgettable.

I can understand why this is not everyone's cup of tea but give it a try!

Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

Absolutely worth the time- clever, intriguing and twisty. Although the very unlikely scenario challenges fictional reality, if you can imagine, you will be totally enveloped in this strange story of love. I loved the characters and the 21st-century realities that challenged them. More and more I am turning to fiction that offers hope through satire and I am glad I found this little gem.
