Movieland by Lee Goldberg

Duncan put the bag down and picked up the one containing Netter’s watch. It had come through the crash unscathed. “The only Rolex I’ve seen that’s bigger than this is the one in the Calabasas clock tower.”

Netter’s watch had clearly been built to last, Eve thought. Rolex could use it as a selling point. You might not survive a car crash, but your watch will.

      Oh, yeah, in every series/stand-alone, the voice and tone will vary–but you’re always in for a smooth style from Goldberg.

  3. I love the morbid sarcasm in that snippet! Sounds like a fun character to read about. Happy reading!
