The Palisades Don’t Forget

In smog-struck 1951 Los Angeles, private eye Nate Calder takes a missing-person case that smells like salt, gasoline, and city hall rot. Following a young reporter’s trail from a darkroom to the ocean bluffs, he unearths secrets tied to a ruthless developer, a crooked cop, and a family’s unraveling loyalties—until the tide tries to bury the truth. Sometimes the city chews you up; sometimes you make it spit.
