"George Jones is one of the evilest characters you'll ever find in a book." -R.G. Belsky, award-winning author of It's News To Me
In Panorama City, they're not just cleaning up the neighborhood. They're erasing it.
Javier Jimenez is a straight-A student with one way out: college. His younger brother, Alex, is headed the other direction-toward Denker Street, the local gang. Then George Jones arrives with a vision for the neighborhood: rising property values, gleaming new development, and a future no one who already lives there can afford.
Soon the disasters start. The bodies start falling. And Javier realizes the battle for Alex is tied to something much bigger-and deadlier-than gang life. To save his brother, Javier will have to go up against a man who doesn't just flip homes. He flips zip codes.
For readers who like gritty crime fiction, political thrillers, and coming-of-age suspense with real emotional stakes, Gone to Ground is a sharp, high-stakes novel about family, survival, and who gets pushed out when a city reinvents itself.

Über den Autor
Having taught in the LA public schools for the past thirty years, Morgan now writes about the people and places he has come to know from his career in education. During the pandemic, he published a short story which became the genesis of Gone To Ground, and soon after, a string of scandals emerged involving public officials and developers which became the inspiration for George Jones. Add to this the more prosaic LA issues of homelessness, crime, and the bullet-train-to-nowhere, and you have the basic elements of Morgan's debut suspense novel. Morgan lives in Los Angeles with his wife where he's trying to learn his mother-in-law's recipe for dal dhokli.
