He took the case. Now the case is coming after him.

Frank Mallory survived the hit that killed his wife. He left New York, opened a small P.I. office in Buffalo, and built a quieter life. The work is steady. The rules are simple. Keep your head down. Don’t make noise.

Then a woman walks into his office.

Her brother-in-law disappeared after taking a security job nobody wants to talk about. The police think he ran. His family knows better.

Frank starts asking questions anyway.

Soon people are following him. Watching his office. Leaning on witnesses. Men with military training and expensive guns who want the whole thing buried.

Frank knows how these men operate. He used to be one of them.

They think he’ll back off before things turn violent.

They don’t know Frank Mallory.

In this thrilling sequel to Hooked, the secret leaders of a deadly cabal prove to be a veritable match for the determined reporter and the insightful surfing detective who double down to expose them.

Investigative reporter Katrina Chopin is back home in San Diego on a mission (or two). The first is personal: reheating the cold case of her parents’ murder and investigating her brother’s reported suicide. The second involves a new spate of deaths with alleged causes that just don’t smell right. She and Detective Ken Goode need each other’s help for both. But she has to keep the sexy surfer at arm’s length, because dating him is off limits. For now.

Teaming up, they make coordinated progress down each path. Digging deeper into La Jolla’s corrupt network of elites, they uncover a pattern of lies, depravity, and greed. And with every new discovery, Katrina is pulled closer to danger…and to Goode.

Sharing sexy phone calls and sunset drinks isn’t exactly following the rules, but fully crossing that line could jeopardize the case. As they start to connect the dots, they realize they must risk everything to bring down the shadowy cabal that kills to keep its secrets.
