Gone To Ground

"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

Javier Jimenez is on a glide path to college while his brother, Alex, has done a 180 and is heading for trouble. Neither, however, have any idea what's coming their way when George Jones sets in motion his plan for their neighborhood. It's a cataclysmic vision of urban renewal replete with manmade disasters, civil unrest, and a tsunami of ambitious Zoomers.

Meanwhile, Alex and Javier's feud quickly escalates, even as Alex finds himself in way over his head with Denker Street, the local gang. The bodies start falling, and Javier soon realizes Jones has put a target on his back. It's time to go to ground. Can he keep Alex from falling further into the streets? Can he outplay Jones at his own game? All this and his own hopes, once so bright, now fading like a smog-shrouded LA skyline.

About the Author

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.
