SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Step into the glitz, grit, and mystery of 2009 Los Angeles in Smart Phone, the latest young adult thriller by enigmatic author Josh Eber. Eber's new release promises to take readers on a heart-pounding adventure through the City of Angels — blending the lure of L.A. landmarks with nail-biting suspense.
The story introduces us to almost-13-year-old Jeffrey James, a bookworm from Iowa visiting L.A. for the first time. With his cousin Margaret and new friend Diana by his side, Jeffrey's dream trip quickly transforms into a dark journey. Anonymous texts lead the trio to bad things -- accidents, fires, crimes, worse -- that begin creeping much too close to home. Together, this unlikely team of Sherlock wannabes (a bookworm, a loner, a rich kid) must unravel a mystery well beyond their comfort zones. Set against the backdrop of L.A.'s beaches and breathtaking landscapes, the book is the perfect read for teens, sleuths-in-training, and especially those who've never seen the Golden State firsthand.
The author himself, Josh Eber, adds an extra layer of intrigue. A San Diego-based writer, businessman, and attorney, he's chosen to keep his identity and his fictional worlds separate, writing across genres with different names. Or as he puts it: "While my fictional world grounds my real one, I'd rather my writing speak for itself."
