About this book

Private investigator Joe Pike's ex-lover, Karen Garcia, is found brutally murdered in Los Angeles. When Karen's father asks Pike and his partner Elvis Cole to monitor the LAPD's investigation, the two detectives enter a dangerous situation. In a city where powerful people guard secrets and corruption runs deep, what begins as oversight of the police inquiry becomes a deadly conflict. As Pike and Cole pursue the truth behind Karen's death, a conspiracy emerges that threatens to fracture their twelve-year partnership and endanger their lives. The case forces them to navigate the hidden networks of Los Angeles, where nothing is as it appears and the stakes continue to rise.
