THE HECTOR RAMIREZ SERIES: BOOKS 4-6
Three gripping Nevada thrillers. One detective who won't let the dead stay buried.
In Washoe County, justice doesn't come easy — and for Chief Detective Hector Ramirez, it always costs something.
GHOST TOWN
A conviction overturned on a technicality puts William Black back on the street — and the first place he goes is Miller's Family Diner, where Hector's sister is working the morning shift. As home invasions escalate across Midtown and the assaults reach onto tribal land, Hector has to build an airtight case against a predator who knows exactly how the system works. He can't post a deputy in the dining room without tipping Black off. So he brings in Celia Mendonca — not a cop, but a young woman with the training to handle herself and the misfortune of fitting Black's profile exactly. She's there to keep Maria safe. Black is watching the diner too, and he's already noticed the new waitress.
A GRAVE IN THE SAND
A photographer stumbles on a skeleton in the Black Rock Desert, shot at close range and buried where no one was ever supposed to look. Forensics puts her in the ground twenty-five years — long enough for the men who put her there to become respectable. The victim was a businesswoman who refused to sell her family's land. The casino money that silenced her the first time is still powerful enough to do it again, and this time Hector's team is standing in front of it.
CULT OF PERSONALITY
A father walks into the sheriff's department begging for help. His daughter has vanished into The Enlightened Collective, a mountain compound run by a charismatic man promising transcendence — and there's talk of a mass ascension ritual coming. Hector needs someone young enough to be believable and tough enough to survive it. Sending Celia inside means cutting her loose with no backup and no way out until she finds the girl. Meanwhile, a professional thief is working his way through Reno's wealthiest homes, taking one specific thing from each.
Perfect for readers of Michael Connelly, John Sandford, and C.J. Box.
