this is how Kickstarter page describes the final episodes of the sequence:

The yr is 1981. The American century is in full swing, however the finish isn’t in sight. The cowboy continues to be America’s most central image – and from the flicks to the music to the president himself, all of it comes from Southern California.

The age of city cowboys is in full swing. Throughout LA, six nights every week, working musicians, television actors, stuntmen, cops, hustlers and damaged souls all play their half in cultural myth-making. Most of them are simply attempting to outlive—on the B facet of the Metropolis of Angels.

Former Burbank PD Detective, PI per day, musician working at eveningAnd man on skinny ice, Eddie Lang is continuous his investigation into the homicide of former TV actress Eileen Wilcox. Eileen went too deep. Will Eddie make the identical mistake?

In an interview with Rhythm Across the time the primary quantity of the sequence was funded, Franck described how the sequence moved from inspecting the previous to reflecting the current:

“I at all times thought that PALOMINO can be my technique to a narrative in regards to the finish of the American century – a style that fascinates me. However whereas writing the e book, it grew to become clear that the story was not in regards to the final century , however the one we’re in. Whereas different books – Watchmen being my favourite instance – discover the demise of the American Century, they have been written in the course of the Reagan period, and chronicled the interval like the tip of a narrative.

“From our perspective of 2020, we will now see that the early 80s actually marked the beginning of one other cycle, which I imagine lastly ended with the 2016 election. The period Reagan was when all of the seeds have been planted for the world as it’s at this time, so with out spoilers, I’ll say that because the sequence continues by way of 4 books, Lisette and Eddie are going to come across some actually large issues.
