When a terrifying new killer targets Detective Lazarus Holloway’s inner circle, he ventures into the darkest corners of the city to unmask the murderer—and the one who’s really pulling the strings.
Lazarus Holloway is no stranger to violent crime. The seasoned detective has built a career on weeding out the worst of the worst from the glittering streets of Las Vegas.
But he never knew the worst could get this bad.
The Bone Stalker is a new kind of murderous. His MO is brutal, calculated, and ritualistic, removing only specific bones from his victims’ bodies. Each bone taken has a symbolic meaning…and they all tie back to Lazarus himself.
As Lazarus digs deeper with the help of investigative partner and guardian ad litem Piper Danes, they discover the detective isn’t the only connection. But before they can unravel the web of lies that’s been spun through the city for years, the killer ensnares another innocent in his trap.
Someone close to Lazarus becomes the bait. And he’ll stop at nothing to get her back—even if it means embracing the darkness he’s spent his life fighting against.
The series
Las Vegas glitters under its neon crown, but behind the casino floors and midnight weddings lies a city shaped by shadows. In this series, the fight for justice collides with the city’s restless pulse, where every crime scene feels like a stage and every secret carries a price.
Read full series description
At its center are Piper Danes, a young attorney determined to give a voice to those the system overlooks, and Detective Lazarus Holloway, a man haunted by past cases and driven to chase answers no matter the personal cost. Their uneasy alliance draws them into investigations that peel back the polished façade of the Strip and expose the predators who thrive in its darkness.
The first book introduces Piper in a chilling case involving a teenage survivor and a serial killer known only as the Creeper. The sequel pushes Lazarus to confront a brutal kidnapping marked by ancient symbols and long-buried secrets. Each story deepens the interplay between law and morality, compassion and obsession, and reveals that justice in Las Vegas is rarely clean.
What sets this series apart is its atmosphere. The desert’s silence presses against the noise of the casinos, creating a backdrop where loneliness, danger, and fleeting hope intertwine. Instead of polished heroes, the characters stumble through choices that test their loyalty and humanity, leaving readers unsettled long after the final page.
In Vegas Shadows, suspense is not just about solving the crime. It is about surviving the weight of truth in a city where luck runs out quickly, and the people sworn to protect it are forced to reckon with their own darkness.
