North of Foothill (A Jimmy Sommes Investigation 2)

“Buckle up as Orlando Davidson and Homicide Detective Jimmy Sommes drive you, tires squealing, into the dark underbelly of Southern California. Sommes is drawn into a deadly game of betrayal and redemption where bullets fly and old friends become dangerous foes. This is a high stakes, low morals game, and a cat-and-mouse caper you won’t soon forget.”

~ Ed Davis, author of The Last Professional

“The freeways flow freely enough that characters journey up to Barstow without a second thought. There are cop bars, wide open spaces and a vaguely frontier spirit, a sense that the characters are navigating a zone where the city rules don’t extend…The story is funny, tragic, absurd, sexy, and exciting…Who needs Sunset Boulevard, Pacific Coast Highway or Mulholland Drive? Jimmy Sommes has Foothill Boulevard, Mission Boulevard, and Sierra Avenue. Orlando Davidson brings them to life.”

Orlando Davidson
Orlando Davidson graduated from Claremont Men’s (now McKenna) College and UCLA School of Law in the 1970’s and headed west to the Hawaiian Islands. After a thirty-five-year career in Hawaii working as an attorney, planner, lobbyist, and public official, Orlando relocated to western North Carolina and began to write fiction. Baseline Road, his first novel, and now North of Foothill were shaped by his student days in California during the tumultuous 1970's. He now resides in Oregon.
