Smoke on the Water

As the smoke from Canadian wildfires chokes Detroit, PI Amos Walker is tasked with investigating a fatal hit-and-run. The victim is lawyer Spencer Bennett, and he supposedly had a file of confidential documents on him when he died. But those documents have now gone missing, and his firm is dead set on Walker finding them. As Walker digs deeper into the events leading to Bennett’s death, all signs are pointing towards the crash being anything but accidental. As the temperature rises and more bodies crop up in connection to the missing file, Walker will have to track down those documents — and unearth why they were worth killing over — before it’s too late.

Murder on an Irish Farm

The entire O’Sullivan brood—not to mention the regulars from Naomi’s Bistro—have gathered at St. Mary’s Church for the wedding of Siobhán and Macdara. Only Siobhán’s brother James is missing. But when James comes racing in, he’s covered in dirt and babbling about a human skeleton in the old slurry pit at the farmhouse. James leads them to a skeleton clothed in rags that resemble a tattered tuxedo. The garda have a cold case on their hands, which heats up when a fresh corpse soon appears on top of the bridegroom’s bones. With a killer at large, they’ll need to watch their backs—or the nearly wedded couple may be parted by death before they’ve even taken their vows.

Battle Mountain

The campaign of destruction that Axel Soledad and Dallas Cates wreaked on Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett left both men in tatters, especially Nate, who lost almost everything. Wondering if the civilized life left him vulnerable to attack, Nate dropped off the grid with his falcons in tow to prepare for vengeance. When Joe gets a call from the governor asking for help finding his son-in-law, who has gone missing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, he enlists the help of a local, a rookie game warden named Susan Kany. As Nate and fellow falconer Geronimo Jones circle closer to their prey, Joe and Susan follow the nearly cold trail to Warm Springs. Little do Nate and Joe know that their separate journeys are about to converge— at Battle Mountain.
