Because of his reputation as the world’s leading authority on Medieval arms and armor, Professor Bradley Davison of Queens College is recruited by Hollywood producer T.S. Latchman to serve as Technical Adviser to his new epic film, A Hundred Years of War, the subject of which is the war between England and France for the French Crown. With a huge payday and the prospects of an all-expenses paid California vacation for him and his family, Brad accepts and brings along his wife Libby and his three daughters. He also invites his friends, Mag and Ruthie Goldman along to join him for a month in the sights and sun of the Golden State. Little did Brad or Mag know that they soon would be drawn into a series of murders that mask a plot to sabotage Latchman’s film. Aiding the Los Angeles Police Department, Brad uncovers one of the most brutal and complex plots in the history of the LAPD. Happy to have the assistance of the Homicide Chief of the NYPD, the LA police must delve deeply into motivations and methods of the serial killer. Mafia connections, hired killers and personal danger to both Brad and Mag lead them into one of the most perilous investigations of their careers.
