Perfect for you if...

You love mysteries where the obvious suspect isn't the real problem, and the investigation spirals into something far darker.
You want a standalone that respects your time but still delivers the payoff of a full series investment.
You're drawn to stories that tackle institutional corruption and the gap between public image and private reality.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your mysteries to be cosy or light; this one has teeth and explores genuinely disturbing territory.
You're looking for a detective who's confident and in control; Mackenzie's struggling and that's central to the story.
You prefer your fiction to stay morally simple; this one asks difficult questions about who deserves trust.

About this book

Mackenzie August is a private detective stuck in a rut, cycling between slow periods and mundane cases. When two men approach him in secret seeking his services, he finally gets the stimulating case he needs. They want him to investigate the leader of their church—a venerable and nationally celebrated priest. A recently hired young clergyman claims the priest is not who he appears to be. Mackenzie must determine who is telling the truth before the public learns of the allegations. What Mackenzie uncovers turns out to be far worse than anyone anticipated. This is a stand-alone mystery and not part of the main Mackenzie August series.
