Death is a lonely business

1949. Venice, California. Roller coaster dismantled for scrap. Cinema on the pier empty and boarded up. In the lion's cage, submerged in the channel, find a dead body. The first of many... All tend to assume that any connection between the deaths there. Except the detective Elmo's kramli and a strange young man all day sit at the typewriter and sending their stories in the magazine "Black mask", "Supernatural stories", "Miss". Novel Bradbury, written twenty years after "trouble", has surprised everyone. "Death – business lonely" is a tribute to "cool" the detectives by R. D. Chandler and Hammett and classic Hollywood Noir.
