The Drowning Hours

Dominic Voss has spent years drinking bad coffee in a basement office where the fluorescent light won't stop flickering and the ceiling stain grows wider every week. A private investigator scraping by on the kind of cases no one else wants, Voss is the last man standing when a final client arrives with a problem money can't easily fix. What starts as a routine missing-persons inquiry pulls Voss into a current of family betrayal, old money, and old blood. Maya Cordova is searching for answers about her father Walter and her brother Julian , and the trail leads straight through Hector Ruiz, Rafe Dimas, and the quiet menace of Dennis Holloway, a man who seems to know every name before Voss says it. Quinn Hollis offers help that comes with strings attached. Lena Voss wants her brother out before he drowns. Sofia Reyes holds a piece of the puzzle she's not ready to share. And above them all, Salvatore Marchetti waits in the deep. With twenty-four hours and a city full of liars, Voss must choose which truth to surface , and which to let sink.
