A hard-boiled crime novel in the Jacob Asch Mystery series, Fast Fade by Arthur Lyons brings back the sharp-tongued Los Angeles private investigator Jacob Asch for another gritty urban investigation. The novel chronicles Asch as he navigates the seedy underbelly of the entertainment industry, where glamour masks corruption and danger lurks behind every deal. Lyons, widely praised as one of the finest writers in the American mystery tradition, crafts his narrative with the taut, cynical voice that defined the genre's golden era — drawing comparisons to Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald. From the author of Hard Trade and Three With a Bullet, this instalment delivers the same razor-sharp dialogue, atmospheric tension, and morally complex characters that made the Jacob Asch series a standout in detective fiction.
