Coming November 3, 2026
Burn After Cheating

Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Elle Cosimano's Finlay Donovan--sharp mystery, sexual tension, and a foul-mouthed PI who won't back down.

A locked room.
An obvious suspect.
Absolutely nothing adds up.
It's Verona Montero's favorite kind of sh*tshow.

Harry Kim died in a locked apartment. No signs of forced entry, windows too small to fit a well-fed Chihuahua. Clean scene. The cops call it an accident. But Verona's best friend Runi isn't buying it--and once Verona starts snooping around, neither is she.

Choir boys like Harry always have the dirtiest secrets. And when the tune of his squeaky-clean life turns out to be less Hallelujah and more Highway to Hell, this "accident" starts looking a lot like murder.

Plus, Harry's stalker ex-girlfriend Ashlyn had been leaving dead animals on doorsteps and threatening anyone Harry dated. Verona wouldn't be surprised to find a "Honk If You Love Sociopaths" sticker on her serial-killer-looking van.

The impossible murder? Solvable. Hot divorce lawyer Quentin shadowing her stakeouts instead of going home to his girlfriend? Deliciously problematic.

Still, Verona's got a killer to catch. Too bad for this killer--she's the kind of private dick who doesn't take "accidental" for an answer.
