The Detective & the Chinese High-Fin
An LA detective must hunt for a deadly predator lurking among exotic fish collectors in this “exciting, well-written [mystery] far above the ordinary” (Kirkus).

Finalist for the 2017 Shamus Award

Private Detective John Darvelle is back—drinking cheap beer, playing ping-pong and sharing his philosophy on everything from work/life balance to restaurants with bad air-conditioning. (He doesn’t believe in the former, he despises the latter.)

Darvelle is hired to find the killer of Keaton Fuller, a well-born Los Angeles man gunned down in his own driveway. The cops couldn’t solve the case, in part because everyone who came in contact with Keaton hated him. Translation: Anybody could have done it. Following a trail of the dead man’s betrayals, Darvelle finds himself in the exotic world of rare tropical fish—a world of surprisingly high stakes, and dangerously cold blood.
