N2  - The Hon. Lucius Kluge - honourable, lucky, clever - might be the only guy in Los Angeles who's still living in the past. Lucky pines for the old days of the New Hollywood, before STAR WARS and superheroes blew up the movies for good. He spends his days working for an antiques business, and his nights boozing and brooding on his former life as an almost-successful screenwriter. When his ex-best friend goes AWOL and his elderly boss is assaulted during the theft of a vintage cookie jar, Lucky and his partner Raul are spurred reluctantly into something like action - walking the not-so-mean streets of the city and confronting ghosts of the past to get to the bottom of the mysteries
