The Investigations of Detective Raymond Knox: Hunt for the Flashbulb Killer By Christian Stefanizzi Los Angeles, 1947. The city is glimmering neon, cigarette smoke, and shadows that stretch longer than the law can reach. Beneath the silver-screen glamour lies a darker truth-a killer with a camera, a flashbulb, and a deadly secret. When Detective Raymond Knox is called to the scene of a Hollywood starlet's shocking death, he uncovers a trail of bodies lit by searing bursts of light.
The press calls him The Flashbulb Killer. Knox's pursuit draws him into a dangerous game of cat and mouse across the city's back alleys, smoke-filled clubs, and opulent theaters-straight into the path of Albrecht Gessler, a ruthless former SS officer whose war crimes have followed him to California. As the body count rises, Knox races against time to protect rising star Kay Rosenberg, the killer's next target.
But Gessler isn't just after fame-he's after a legacy written in fear and fire. Steeped in the grit and glamour of postwar Los Angeles, The Investigations of Detective Raymond Knox: Hunt for the Flashbulb Killer pays homage to the classic noir films and pulp detective magazines of the 1940s. In a city that never sleeps, Knox must decide how much of his soul he's willing to spend to bring a monster to justice.
Perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, and the smoky world of golden-age crime cinema.
