Sick to Death (2024)
Andy’s life is turned around when he discovers he has an adult daughter he never knew about. His daughter, Alex, is less interested in a warm-and-fuzzy reunion than hiring her father to find out who killed Alex’s mother, Kate, in a hit-and-run accident five months earlier that might be connected to Kate’s work as an ICU nurse during the worst of COVID.
“The eighth in this excellent PI series (following An Empty Grave) also stands alone. Recommended for fans of detectives with a troubled past and a nose for crime.”—LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review)An Empty Grave (2021)
Andy takes on a forty-year-old cold case, finding a mysterious Cold War connection to a burglar who shot a cop, as well as a series of deaths that seem to be connected, one way or another, to the missing criminal. Nothing seems to add up, though, and Hayes finds himself hurtling headlong down a decades-old path of deadly secrets.
“An Empty Grave is an excellent mystery featuring a recognizably human investigator. Readers will identify with Andy and admire his strengths and the dedication he brings to his clients.”—MARILYN BROOKS, Marilyn's Mystery Reads
