After organizing the departmental investigation Chief Mac goes behind closed doors to call in Arnold Blackburn, an ex-LAPD Lieutenant recently booted off the force who is now a Private Detective in LA County. Arney Blackburn has respect from both sides of the law which gives him access to information the LAPD isn’t privy to.
But her abductors won’t follow the rule book. A week goes by and yet no ransom is demanded. Why was she kidnapped if not for money? Is her grandfather’s Swiss/German background and the fact that his uncle was a key architect under the wing of Adolph Hitler during World War II giving this crime a political slant? To what degree are some of Hollywood’s most famous involved: especially those who had relatives in Europe during the war whose art collections were confiscated by the Nazi regime?
How does Victor Gastaldi, one of LA’s most prominent drug Czars and Danny Ballantyne a Chicago gangster fit in?
What do thirteen un-cataloged paintings by a French Impressionist have to do with the outcome? Deadly Impressions asks hard questions about the past and the answers will dictate who lives and who doesn’t.
Chris and Chubbs with Arney in tow wade their way through the murky waters of Hollywood to find clues which don’t connect until the very end. The action travels to Cannes France, Monaco and Tunisia with all roads leading back to LA as the conclusion smacks you in the face like a wet boxing glove in the dark. You won’t see this one coming, you can bet on that!
