For years, indie music producer Mayne Moore has happily hunted the clubs of the Sunset Strip, trolling for the next big thing. But when his former fiancée turns up dead in an alley behind a West Hollywood nightclub clutching his business card, his life turns sideways. Mayne delves deeper and finds that everything is not as it seems. Author Chris Moreau takes us on a darkly comic journey through LA's music scene, where jealous club owners guard their turf and everyone has an angle. Viewed through Mayne's eyes and filtered through the music that informs his life, Requiem slinks through LA like a snake through a rock and roll swamp where the business just might kill you.
