Desert City Diva

Desert City Diva was published in 2015 by Konstellation Press as the third installment in Corey Lynn Fayman's Rolly Waters mystery series. Set against the backdrop of San Diego's music and art scene, the novel follows Rolly Waters, a former guitar player turned private investigator. The series is noted for its gritty, noir-inspired atmosphere which draws heavily from Fayman's own professional background in music and performance.

The design and narrative tone of the book reflect the author's intent to blend traditional hardboiled detective tropes with the specific cultural geography of Southern California. Fayman focuses on the interplay between the city's glamour and its underlying shadows, aiming to create a sense of place that functions as a character in its own right. The book was released as part of an effort to expand the reach of independent regional crime fiction within the digital and print-on-demand publishing landscape.
