Families are complicated. Former LAPD detective turned private investigator Trevor Finnegan might have only just learned he has an adult half-brother, but when Avery Dixion goes missing along with his girlfriend Keisha, he springs into action to track his sibling down. Trevor knows from his time in law enforcement that missing Black folk are often at the bottom of the cops’ priority list, and soon his worst fears are realized when Keisha is found dead in Malibu—and Avery is suspected of the crime.

What were Avery and Keisha doing in Malibu when they had arranged to meet Trevor’s father, Shaun “Pop” Finnegan, for the first time in Palm Springs? And if Avery killed his girlfriend, why is he so badly beaten that he can barely remember his own name?

Convinced his brother’s no killer, Trevor turns to a dangerous former client, wealthy Malibu resident Cassandra Boyle, for help navigating the inner workings of the conservative beach town. But the deeper Trevor digs into what really happened to Keisha, the closer he gets to a deadly conspiracy so vast and vile that if he survives he’ll never be the same again.
