L.A. Burning - D.C. Taylor

When Cody Bonner is released from prison after six years, she returns to LA with a purpose: to learn the truth about her identical twin Julie, who washed up on a Malibu beach a year earlier. Her search leads her to the darker alleys behind the dazzle of the film business, and into the world of high-powered agents, high-priced call girls, and men with a taste for sexual violence. As she homes in on her mother''s powerful agent, Harry Groban, a man with ugly accusations of abuse in his past, Cody becomes more deeply enmeshed in the life she left behind as a teenager: her mother''s star power, her former classmates-turned-producers, glitzy parties, and a handsome former love who knows all the players.
