1937: Private investigator Walt Tolliday and his family have left San Francisco to hide from a violent gang intent on retribution. They find refuge in Los Angeles' Chinatown, but the rundown neighborhood is soon to be dismantled to make way for the new Union Station railway depot. Walt and his Asian wife also face bigotry as a mixed race couple and financial despair in the midst of the Great Depression.
Then Walt's chance encounter with a benevolent restaurant owner leads him to one of LA's best known private detectives. Soon Walt finds himself thrust into a dangerous investigation of police corruption. That puts him and his family in peril from the man whom the newspapers call the Al Capone of Los Angeles.
Based on a true LA crime investigation, The Devils in Sunlight is the suspenseful follow-up to The Dangers of Fog and puts detective Walt Tolliday and his family in even more dire straits.
