    Nora Lord, a rock superstar whose reckless, self-destructive actions were as famous as her music, is found dead in the bathtub of her suite at the hipster boutique hotel, The Sunset Club, from an overdose of Xanax and red wine. Jason Chance, a lonely, haunted LA Sheriff's homicide detective, as passionate about rock and roll as he is dedicated to his job, grabs up the case. On the surface, her death looks like an accident or possible suicide. But Jason isn't buying it. As he digs deeper into the last tragic days of Nora's life, he follows a bloody trail that takes him from the raucous Sunset Strip to dark East Hollywood alleys, and on to the protected enclaves of Newport Beach and Pasadena, clashing with his partner and his bosses, and uncovering a web of obsession, corruption, blackmail, and murder.

    What doesn’t he get? Just about everything. That’s why he walks around with a little camera attached to his glasses that records his entire life. Then he watches it all later to try to figure out the things he didn’t get before – which, as you’ll recall, is just about everything – and he makes a weekly video blog for all to see. Unfortunately, Hugh’s cluelessness leads him to run for Student Council President. Even his little sister knows that this school election thing is just “not him”, but Hugh, as always, has to find out the hard way. At least Hugh’s campaign gets him the attention of the very confident, very pretty – and very intimidating – Molly MacLaine. But will Molly be able to help Hugh survive his disastrous campaign, or will he crash and burn… and bring the whole school down with him?
