When a history professor is found dead on Marina Road, police call it a random mugging. But his daughter Maya refuses to believe it and hires private investigator Leo Vargas—a weary, wisecracking detective who'd rather eat churros than chase killers. Leo's search leads him through beachfront condos, homeless witnesses, Greek Orthodox churches, and a smuggling operation with ancient roots. With help from a cryptic homeless man called Sailor and his own stubborn conscience, Leo uncovers a truth more dangerous than anyone expected. A humanized mystery about grief, justice, and the price of honesty.
