Nelson George<\/strong>‘s To Funk and Die in LA<\/em> is the fourth book in his D Hunter crime-fiction series. The follow-up to The Accidental Hunter<\/em><\/a>, The Plot Against Hip Hop<\/em><\/a>, and The Lost Treasures of R&B<\/em><\/a> brings the ex-bodyguard to the City of Angels. <\/p>\n

Most of the novel takes place in the LA neighborhoods of Crenshaw, Koreatown, and Pico-Union\u2014areas where black, Asian, and Latino cultures intersect away from the glamour of Hollywood\u2014and echoes of the 1992 riots play a significant role in D\u2019s investigation. In the tradition of Raymond Chandler and Walter Mosley, D Hunter rides through the mean streets of Los Angeles seeking truth and not always finding justice. <\/p>\n
