About the book
Paul knows his wife is cheating—with the dog trainer from upstairs. At least, that’s what he tells himself. But when he plans to catch them, he stumbles onto a dead body instead. His wife is missing, the police think he’s guilty, and Paul, ever the self-absorbed part-time actor, is woefully unprepared for the chaos ahead.
With the building’s sharp-tongued front desk clerk as his unlikely partner, Paul unravels secrets lurking in their glittering apartment complex. The neighbors, bland by day, are tangled in a web of lust, greed, and smuggled animal narcotics by night. The deeper Paul digs, the more he realizes the real enemy may be staring back from his own reflection.
Can Paul rise above his flaws to crack the case—or will the killer strike again?
