"A full-throttle thriller, filled with twists and insight." - Richard Foreman
Producer Marcus Riley believes dangerous stories belong on screen. That changes when Charlie Foster, a former Hollywood prop buyer now scraping by on Venice Beach, presses a riddle into his hand.
Hours later, Charlie is found dead outside Sunset Circus, a pawn shop in Los Angeles. When the police start asking questions, Marcus realises Charlie's puzzle eventually points to the Miksas, a Nevada crime family.
With his partner, designer Melinda ‘Mako’ de Turris, Marcus follows a trail into the Nevada desert. They uncover an assault on Charlie’s daughter at The Mighty Bison casino, and the theft of an artefact the Miksas must recover. It holds the secrets to a Cold War bargain that still shields them.
Olga and her daughter Lexi Miksa will do what they can to hold on to power. Marcus and Mako have to decide how far they are willing to push the evidence to expose the criminal group and their ultimate protectors.
Riley digs into the past, but he could end up digging a grave for himself.
Mark Grenside is a former film and television producer turned thriller author, drawing on insider knowledge of Hollywood to create the Marcus Riley and Mako de Turris series.
Genre: Mystery
