Where The Bones Lie is a terrific noir thriller packed with wit and realism.
Dash Fuller is a man who’s solved more Hollywood problems than one can imagine. He knows where the skeletons are buried, because he’s shoveled the dirt on most of them. This has left Dash burnt out and cynical, until he comes across a chance for redemption in the form of Madeline Ironwood. She is searching for clues that could lead her to her father’s killers. Jaded but adamant about doing something right, Dash accompanies Madeline on a treacherous mission through the dark heart of Hollywood, which hides secrets from the city’s bright lights.
Nick Kolakowski adroitly captures the mysteriously captivating - both attractive and horrifying - vibe of the underbelly of Hollywood. He makes the city a living breathing creature. There’s a sense of urgency and excitement in every scene as Dash and Madeline tumble down the rabbit hole. Dash resonates as a man who’s broken, but not out. His spirit speaks to how the most damaged of all of us can find redemption. This is how Kolakowski makes the narrative feel both grand and personal.
Buckle up and prepare for a riveting ride through the gritty streets of L.A. with memorable characters involved in numerous twists and turns, which compel you to solve the mystery. Be warned, you will have to dive inside Dash’s mind and wrestle with his pain, suffering and sardonic rage. Noir thrillers have never been better!
