About The Book

13 Hillcrest Drive is a gripping thriller that peels back the layers of Hollywood’s glitz. In a city where image is everything, the truth can be the most dangerous revelation of all.

From the acclaimed author of To Live and Die in L.A. In the streets of Beverly Hills, secrets are the most valuable currency. Meredith Fox, a once-prominent Hollywood publicity agent, has clawed her way back from the brink of obscurity. Now, she’s poised for a comeback, leveraging the dark secrets of her celebrity clients to put herself back on top. But when a routine money drop goes wrong, Meredith finds herself caught in a deadly web of betrayal. Detective Michael Casey, navigating the waters of Beverly Hills' elite, is tasked with unraveling the mystery behind Meredith's death. With every clue leading to more questions, Casey must confront his own demons while piecing together a puzzle that threatens to expose the darkest secrets of the Los Angeles elite.

Raves and Reviews

“For crime-fiction readers, it would be an egregious felony to miss one of 2025’s most exhilarating police procedural thrillers - 13 Hillcrest Drive.”

 

Ali Karim, Shots Crime and Thriller Ezine

13 Hillcrest Drive is a tough, unrelenting, heart-punch of a novel, and absolute proof that Gerald Petievich is the king of hardboiled noir.”

Robert Crais

“This is the real deal. It’s got momentum, grit and authenticity, a rare combination. More importantly, at the center of 13 Hillcrest Drive is a character that could only have been drawn by an author who has been there with a badge and gun and fought the good fight. Welcome back Gerald Petievich. We’ve missed you!”

Michael Connelly
