twisty, and true, Weizmann's fast paced and smartly written CINNAMON GIRL is everything there is to love about a classic PI novel and more ... much more." -- Reed Farrel Coleman, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of SLEEPLESS CITY

From the author of the acclaimed The Last Songbird, Lyft driver-turned-sleuth Adam Zantz returns in a neo-noir dive into the dark side of LA's rock scene . . .

Adam Zantz is still driving for Lyft, struggling to make ends meet, when his beloved former piano teacher makes a deathbed request: He wants Zantz to prove his son's innocence in a decades-earlier murder case.

There doesn't seem to be much hope of solving such a cold case--until Zantz stumbles onto a test pressing of a never-released vinyl LP. The recording is of a high school garage band lost to the tides of the Paisley Underground, the acid-fueled early '80s music scene that spawned the Bangles and the Three O'Clock.

Down the psychedelic rabbit hole Adam falls, tracing the band's journey from the middle class garage to the precipice of fame--a twisted tale marked by crooked DJs, elder-scammers, wellness hucksters, a teen cult, and the woman who held the key to the band's triumph and ruin.

One part Raymond Chandler, one part Ziggy Stardust, Cinnamon Girl is both an indelible, moving portrait of Los .Angeles, and a suspenseful tale of greed, lust, betrayal, and the hidden price of teenage yearning.
