PH Zero

Army veteran Dom Donnelly didn't have many options back home after three tours in the Middle East. So he headed to Los Angeles, land of billionaire pipe dreams, a million dirty swimming pools. But his day job as a pool cleaner was just a cover, an excuse to infiltrate swank Beverly Hills estates as an advance man for home invasion heist crews. One day, he'd have enough dough for his own mansion, the fantasy Spanish Colonial he dreamed of during the war. He never expected to find it here, in Glendale of all places. He never expected to find her inside: the mysterious olive-skinned beauty with a past more sordid than his own. When these two schemers come together, the results are sure to be highly acidic. pH Zero is modern day noir in the hardboiled tradition of Jim Thompson, James M. Cain and James Ellroy. The postman always rings twice, but the pool boy doesn't knock at all.
