Welcome to Palm Beach, 1933—where the sun is blinding, the secrets run deep, and murder never wears out of fashion.
Drake Marlow is a war-scarred private detective who knows the difference between gossip and danger—though in this town, they often wear the same silk gloves. With a .38 in his shoulder holster and a secretary who types faster than he thinks, Drake navigates a gilded world of scandal, greed, and ghosts from the past.
But he’s not alone. Behind every clue is a woman with sharp eyes and sharper instincts—whether it’s Betty Lou keeping his case files straight, Constance pulling strings from her high society perch, or Max showing the boys how real investigations are done.
Classic noir with a fresh lens, the Drake Marlow Mysteries blend hardboiled tension with historical depth, and a slow burn of truth hidden beneath Florida’s sun-soaked façade.
Della, the first book in the series, sets the stage for a string of captivating mysteries. Each one follows with its own twist—a fresh caper, a new intrigue, and the same unforgettable cast.
