Penned by an actual private detective, this stunningly addictive series will be your new obsession.
Private Investigator Mackenzie August moves to Roanoke to start over.
So does a criminal kingpin nicknamed The General.
The town isn’t big enough…
After years as a Los Angeles homicide detective, Mackenzie August has traded flashing lights for quiet streets, single fatherhood, and the occasional dull PI job. But peace doesn’t last long. When Sheriff Andie Stackhouse shows up with a folder of murdered girls and a plea for help, Mackenzie finds himself drawn into a case that’s equal parts tragedy and trap.
The victims are young. The killings are savage. And the trail leads straight into the halls of a local high school, where a rising gang leader known only as *the General* is recruiting soldiers and burying secrets.
Against his better judgment, Mackenzie poses as a teacher, pushing his cover story to the limit. Between the dangerous charms of a beautiful attorney named Ronnie, and the deadly cat-and-mouse hunt unfolding around him, Mackenzie must confront what he left behind in Los Angeles: the part of himself that’s willing to break the rules to do what’s right.
Tough, funny, and unflinchingly human, August Origins delivers everything readers crave in a detective series—crackling dialogue, heart, and a hero who can throw a punch and quote Shakespeare in the same breath.
