Books by David Lapham

Somewhere out West is a town no one knows about-a desert town-whose inhabitants wait for the day a great earthquake will bring them beachfront property. Here, three desperate friends on the run from the Mob and a young runaway Virginia Applejack will try to escape the nightmares of their pasts.

Runaway Virginia returns home to the very unloving arms of her widowed mother. An outcast at home and at school, no one can imagine just how far she'll go to protect herself and her new friend, Leon.

Beth and Virginia have relocated to Los Angeles where things only appear more normal...

A young babysitter gets in way over her head when she's hired to sit by a dangerous man with a strange request. A young couple's hopeful visit to the city turns anything but when they step into the middle of a mob turf war and watch more than just friends die.
