In a Lonely Place

Dix Steele is back in town, and 'town' is post-war LA. His best friend Brub is on the force of the LAPD, and as the two meet in country clubs and beach bars, they discuss the latest case: a strangler is preying on young women in the dark. Dix listens with interest as Brub describes their top suspect, as yet unnamed.

Dix Steele s-a intors in oras, iar ,,orasul" este LA de dupa razboi. Prietenul sau cel mai bun, Brub, face parte din forta politiei din LAPD si, in timp ce cei doi se intalnesc in cluburi de tara si baruri de pe plaja, discuta despre cel mai recent caz: un sugrumator se pradeste pe tinere in intuneric.
