Second Cousin Once Removed

Family can be murder. Just ask Henry Atkinson. A slam-bang series debut "reminiscent of those stories told by Dashiell Hammett . . . dark, and gritty" (Tessa Talks Books).

Henry Atkinson's life as an attorney is slow, predictable, and lonely, given his divorce and his ex-wife's custody of the kids. He recently took up genealogy as a hobby to fill the time, but it doesn't do much to spice up his mundane routine.

Until the day he prods at a dead end of one of the branches of his family tree. Who is this cousin Shelley, whom he's never met or even heard of in years? Ignoring a warning to leave well enough alone, Henry still doesn't find much in his deeper dive into the mystery—just a concerning criminal record for the man that finally convinces him to drop the matter. But Shelley is a man who doesn't want to be found or even looked for. And now he knows someone has been looking.

Faster than he knows what's hit him, Henry is propelled into sudden mayhem, receiving ominous threats, meeting mysterious strangers, and running for his life. Second Cousin Once Removed is a fast-paced, sweaty-palm thriller that will keep you hooked until the last page.

"An enthralling, unique, and captivating story that makes it impossible to put the book down." —The Artsy Reader
