A Grave in the Sand
A Hector Ramirez ThrillerBy Daniel Pelfrey
Length8h 12m
About this audiobook
The desert hides the bodies. It doesn't hide the truth.
Twenty-seven years ago, Mia Castillo stood up to a corrupt casino empire and vanished. Now, her bones have surfaced in the scorching sands of the Black Rock Desert, and the silence is finally over.
Chief Detective Hector Ramirez digs into the cold case, only to find the rot runs deeper than he ever imagined. The trail leads straight to the glistening towers of Midtown and Vince Moretti, a ruthless tycoon who built his fortune on Mia’s grave. But Moretti didn’t work alone. The corruption has infected the city’s veins, from the courts to the Sheriff’s Department itself.
As witness intimidation turns personal and threats arrive at his team's doorsteps, Hector realizes this isn't just a murder investigation—it's war. With enemies on both sides of the badge, Hector must dismantle a legacy of lies before the desert claims its next victim.
Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch and Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad.
