LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan is struggling to move forward after the death of her brother in Afghanistan and taking a life in the line of duty. Her stoic parents offer little support – they refuse to address anything difficult, and she’s afraid their relationship is eroding beyond the point of recovery.

The days off are the hardest, because they give Margaret time to think. A moment of weakness leads to cocktails with a colleague—an attraction she knows could be dangerous —at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air bar. A stroll through the grounds leads to a grim discovery beneath the surface of Swan Lake: the body of a successful attorney who made his fortune in international trade.

It initially appears to be death by misadventure, but the case is anything but straightforward. As a series of shocking revelations emerge, Nolan finds herself confronting a sinister cabal that just might destroy her and everyone she loves.

Booklist—“P. J. Tracy, the mother-daughter writing team of P. J. and Traci Lambrecht, is best known as the author of the Monkeewrench mysteries, which Traci continued to write after her mother’s death in 2016. In 2021, she introduced a new series, about LAPD detective Margaret Nolan, with Deep into the Dark. Nolan returns in this second novel, and it’s even better than the first. Grief-stricken after the death of her brother, who was stationed in Afghanistan, Nolan happens to find a murder victim, a high-profile attorney, the kind of guy who might have a few people wanting him dead. The list appears to include a very nasty Russian mobster who doesn’t seem to have any problems making people who annoy him go away. But Nolan, who’s as tough as she is smart, won’t back down, no matter how steep the odds are against her. Fans of the Monkeewrench novels, which also feature a tough, no-nonsense female protagonist, should find the Nolan books very much up their alley.”
