What is Beat L.A. - Bicycle Cop & Brand & Reese about?

Set in a downtown Los Angeles where gentrification seeks to displace the homeless, where loft dwellers walk their little dogs past dark alleyways from which the sickly sweet smell of something else wafts, Beat L.A. follows bicycle-jockeying police officer David Richter and cynical, unfulfilled patrolmen Brand and Reese in their Crown Vic. From the murky byways of the hard cityscape, they slam face-to-fist against a crack smoking lawyer, a one-armed crazed prophet, a hidden homeless enclave, a musclebound woman enforcer, a preacher with more than the Gospel on his mind, the devious Genghis Rabbit, mystic gangbangers, cartel funded property shenanigans, pandering politicians, and some big time development hanky-panky. Illustrated by the amazing Manoel Magalhes, Beat L.A. also features "A to Z," a prose short story that bridges the Bicycle Cop Dave and Brand & Reese stories, as well as an interview with Beat's two writers, Gary Phillips and Tony Chavira.
