Frank Quill Series - Book 1
- Crime Fiction
Frank Quill doesn't care about justice, and he certainly doesn't care about you. A brilliant homicide detective turned high-functioning alcoholic, Frank is more interested in the bottom of a bottle than the blood-slicked streets of Los Angeles. But when Sakura Fukushima walks into his favorite dive bar with the gruesome details of her daughter’s murder, Frank finds a puzzle he can't ignore. The killer, dubbed the Night Demon, treats the city as a stage and human remains as his medium. The crime scenes are intricate, theatrical, and layered with sadistic riddles that have left the LAPD—led by Frank’s arrogant rival, Detective Kade—utterly humiliated. Forced to navigate a corrupt system and his own shattered psyche, Frank must stay sober long enough to decode the Night Demon's divine art. With the help of his ex-lover, medical examiner Penelope Murray, and a streetwise witness named Maria, Frank follows a trail of cold cases that leads to the highest levels of power. In a city built on illusions, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all. Frank Quill is back on the case, and God help the monster that stands in his way. The hunt begins in this gritty first installment of the Frank Quill Noir series.
