Dallas private investigator Dylan Fisher hasn' t seen his ex-wife, Rose, in three years— which is why he' s surprised when she asks him to meet her at a hotel. Rose Doucette is a homicide detective, and she wants Dylan' s help with a murder investigation that she' s been asked to step back from but can' t seem to let go.
They review the details of the case and part ways— but as Rose is leaving the parking lot, Dylan sees a suspicious car begin to follow her. Feeling uneasy, he tails the car and tries to warn Rose, but he' s too late— the driver of the car shoots her, killing her instantly, before speeding away.
The police are determined to pin the murder on Dylan, so he' s left with no choice but to find the killer himself. Teaming up with Rose' s widower, a defense attorney named Tito, the pair dive into Rose' s past to figure out who could' ve wanted to kill the woman they both loved— and what they were trying to hide.
Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais

Starred review from August 12, 2024
Hunsicker (the Arlo Baines series) delivers a stellar spine tingler about a PI who’s tasked with investigating his ex-wife’s murder. Three years after Dylan Fisher leaves the Dallas police force, divorces homicide detective Rose Doucette, and becomes a private eye, Rose calls him to ask for his help. Josh Gannon, a drug dealer fresh out of prison, has just been shot on the grounds of a ritzy hotel he could hardly afford. Rose sees Gannon’s death as an obvious murder, but her superiors pressure her to close the case as a suicide, so she ropes in Dylan to help her poke around on the side. Then Rose is murdered, with all evidence pointing toward Dylan as the killer. To clear his name, Dylan teams up with Rose’s second husband, defense attorney Tito Mullins, to figure out who might want Rose dead—a process that points toward cover-ups in Rose’s past that threaten to explode in the face of Dylan and his new flame. Marrying Dylan’s punchy first-person narration with the twisty plot mechanics of classic noir, Hunsicker delivers an engrossing, emotionally charged mystery that culminates in a satisfying series of gut punches. It’s a winner. Agent: Richard Abate, 3 Arts Entertainment.
