About the book
Private Investigator Evander “Andy” Mills is used to trouble, but this case drags him back to the one place he swore he would never return: Los Angeles. When the Mattachine Society, a secretive queer rights group, hires him to track down missing members, Andy finds himself dodging biker gangs, shady fixers, and an old nemesis he never planned to face...his mother.
Her psychiatric clinic becomes the epicenter of a mystery filled with hidden files, dangerous drugs, and secrets buried too long. Every clue tightens the noose around Andy’s time and choices.
If he cannot find the missing soon, the cost will be measured in lives. And if he is not careful, Los Angeles may swallow him whole before he can escape back to San Francisco.

Detective Ethan Krol is on the twentieth floor of a Chicago apartment building. A father and son have been found dead, their lungs full of sea water—hundreds of miles away from the ocean.
Abidemi Eniola has arrived in Bristol, England. She claims to be Nigerian, but her accent is wrong and she can do remarkable things with technology, things that her new friend, Hollie Rogers, has never seen before. Abi is in possession of a number of heirlooms that need to be returned to their rightful owners, and Hollie is more than happy to go along for the ride.
But neither Abidemi Eniola nor her heirlooms are quite what they seem. Abi is a target of Ethan Krol’s investigations, and Hollie’s life is about to become far stranger than she bargained for. In a clash of cultures, histories, and different ideas about justice, the consequences will be deadly…
