Product Details
- Los Angeles is gripped by the exploding celebrity of Allison Marietta, her real identity unknown, a modern-day Jesse James with the compulsion to steal beautiful things, the vanity to invite the media along, and the conscience to donate much of her bounty to charity. Nobody ever gets hurt - until a job ends with ten gangsters lying dead and a half-million dollars worth of glittering diamonds missing.Rookie Deputy Charlie Hood discovers the bodies, and he prevents an eyewitness - a schoolteacher named Suzanne Jones - from leaving the scene in her Corvette. Drawn to a mysterious charisma that has him off-balance from the beginning, Hood begins an intense affair with Suzanne. As the media frenzy surrounding Allison's exploits swells to a fever pitch and the Southland's most notorious killer sets out after her, a glimmer of recognition blooms in Hood, forcing him to choose between a deeply held sense of honor and a passion that threatens to consume him completely. With a stone-cold killer locked in relentless pursuit, Suzanne and Hood continue their desperate dance around the secrets that brought them together, unsure whether each new dawn may signal the day their lies catch up with them.

Suspense Editorial Review
**** T. Jefferson Parker’s *L.A. Outlaws* presents an intriguing blend of crime and complexity, skillfully weaving the lives of a high school teacher turned Robin Hood-esque thief, Suzanne Jones (a.k.a. Allison Murrieta), and an LA Deputy Sheriff named Charlie Hood. The characters are vividly brought to life, with Suzanne’s duality as both a dedicated teacher and skilled thief providing a central tension that captivates readers. Many reviewers commend the narrative's ability to engage them, with one even admitting to staying up late reading—an endorsement of the book's gripping plot. Suzanne's escapades, filled with humor and action, resonate well, drawing readers into her morally ambiguous world as they root for her despite her sometimes questionable decisions. Throughout the book, readers navigate a range of emotions, from excitement to ethical dilemmas regarding the anti-heroine. However, critiques arise regarding pacing; some reviewers feel that the inclusion of historical flashbacks, particularly related to Joaquin Murrieta, disrupts the storyline's flow and adds unnecessary length. Additionally, there are observations that certain plot developments feel somewhat predictable or convenient, detracting from the overall suspense. The story's climax is met with mixed reactions, leaving some feeling that while the journey is entertaining, the resolution does not entirely satisfy. Overall, *L.A. Outlaws* emerges as a quirky, entertaining read that showcases Parker's skill in developing intriguing characters and action sequences. While it may have minor flaws, many agree that it delivers a compelling narrative worth exploring, particularly for fans of the series. **
