The Familiar Dark: A Marti Starova Erotic Thriller Book 5 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998648177)

Beloved PI Marti Starova crawls out of a hospital bed and back into a life held together by whiskey, cigarettes, and women. Her loyal secretary Lori Harring keeps her business, and her body, from falling apart, even as her own feelings for her self-destructive boss threaten to consume her.

When desperate mothers beg Marti to find their vanished sons, she uncovers a pattern of corruption that reaches the highest levels of Falls City's power structure. Her investigation leads from seedy clubs to the basement of one of the city's most respected figures, where she discovers a killer who has been operating with impunity for years.

As her personal life crumbles and Lori walks away from the chaos that is Marti Starova, Marti finds herself facing the consequences of her choices. Seeking justice through proper channels, Marti turns to Federal Agent Heather Blair, despite their complicated history of professional rivalry and sexual tension. But when Marti's actions indirectly set a chain of events in motion, vengeance comes swift and brutal.

In The Familiar Dark, even doing the right thing can lead to handcuffs, and sometimes justice wears the face of tragedy.
