Synopsis

A fast-paced literary thriller that peels back the layers of small-town police corruption, drugs, and teen disillusionment to expose unlikely heroes and unexpected villains
		 
When two teens, Dallan and Hannah, attend the opening night of the infamous Sunsetter rodeo, they find themselves entangled in the suspicious deaths of their two closest loved ones. Driven by loss, rage, and their gut instincts for justice, they channel their grief and confusion into uncovering the criminal truth about their small town of Perron, a prairie community that has been long deserted by industry, leaving a ghostly emptiness of abandoned gravel pits, golf courses, and storefronts. They soon discover that Perron — with its population of bored and discontented youth, as well as police officers who are only looking out for themselves — is the ideal place for a mysterious and omnipresent drug trade to flourish. Soon enough, Dallan and Hannah are being tailed by Deputy Arnason, who has been tasked with protecting the reputation of the local police, even as his conscience screams in protest with every move he makes.
		 
Equal parts crime novel and literary fiction, Sunsetter is an unflinching story about the opioid crisis, teen isolation, police brutality, and the fickleness of late-stage capitalism.

    In this third Keenan Fitzpatrick Mystery, Fitz is called in to investigate a double homicide in the sleepy outback of Nevada. The county commission has illegally suspended the duly-elected sheriff and installed a young deputy with no tangible investigative experience. When Fitz gets to this former stagecoach stop by the old Pony Express, he immediately clashes with the locals. Soon, Fitz is butting heads with the federal government and established families that want this case to just go away. The major employer in town, a huge mining interest, is right in the middle of his investigation. Then the bodies start to pile up, and Fitz knows he's in for more than he initially thought. The complexity of the case will test his law enforcement skills, and could just get him killed.

    On the surface, Violet Lane is the prettiest street in town—neat hedgerows, pastel-painted houses, and neighbours who always smile. But behind the front doors, secrets fester in silence. 
    When beloved local teacher Eleanor Hayes is found dead in her sitting room, the police are quick to suspect a break-in gone wrong. But Detective Clara Warren isn’t convinced. The crime scene is too neat, the timeline too tidy—and everyone on Violet Lane seems to have something to hide. 
    As Clara digs deeper, she uncovers a web of grudges, betrayals, and whispered affairs that stretch far beyond the lane itself. And when another body is discovered, it becomes chillingly clear: someone on Violet Lane will kill to protect the truth. 
    Atmospheric, twist-filled, and impossible to put down, Murder on Violet Lane proves that even the prettiest streets can hide the darkest crimes.

    I’ve come a long way since inheriting my Aunt Elizabeth’s Tarpon Cove house and her beach cottages full of quirky residents. I strap a Glock to my thigh as easily as I slip into flip–flops. 
    Even Fab is going legit . . .  mostly. When she’s hired to investigate some high–end boat thefts in Biscayne Bay, I go along to do what I do best. Chat up the help to get the real story. 
    Neither of us expected the case to explode—literally—and take out one of Miami’s richest men. And possibly a mistress, though no one’s found her body floating among the bits and pieces. 
    Somewhere in the Miami upper–crust’s phony smiles and even phonier alibis, there’s someone who wanted to see Marshall Sacks dead. Someone willing to ruin Fab’s and my lives to keep their secret. It’ll take calling in every favor I’m owed to keep us out of trouble.
