Reality and fiction collide in shocking violence for Detective Eve Ronin in a propulsive thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.
When Erin Casey, the actress who plays LASD detective Eve Ronin on TV, is gunned down after a ride-along, the intended target is obvious: the real Eve. What isn’t obvious is why.
As Eve hunts the shooter, her world fractures into more deadly reflections. The new sheriff forces Eve to exploit her fame to burnish his image—or he’ll destroy her partner, Duncan. And a reckless half sister Eve never knew she had pulls her toward a criminal conspiracy that’s already dumped a corpse in a Topanga Canyon ravine.
To save Erin, protect her half sister, and survive herself, Eve must find the killers before they strike again—and before her enemies inside the department finish the job for them.
The series
Los Angeles hides its secrets in plain sight, behind the walls of luxury homes, beneath wildfire-scorched hills, and inside the quiet corridors of power. At the center of that tangled landscape stands Eve Ronin, the youngest homicide detective in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, trying to carve out truth in a place built on illusion.
Read full series description
What begins as a hard-won promotion after a viral arrest soon becomes a relentless test of integrity. Each investigation pulls her deeper into the city’s contradictions: fame and failure, loyalty and betrayal, justice and corruption. With every case, Eve faces the uneasy question of whether the system she serves is worth the price it demands.
The series blends the precision of a police procedural with the tension of a psychological thriller. Set against the vivid sprawl of Southern California, from sunlit canyons to gated estates, it captures the uneasy rhythm of a world where everyone performs, and where the truth, once uncovered, can destroy as easily as it can heal.
Gritty, fast-paced, and grounded in moral complexity, this crime fiction series doesn’t just trace the path of a detective. It exposes the fragile boundary between ambition and obsession. For readers drawn to authentic law enforcement detail, layered mysteries, and the pulse of Los Angeles itself, these stories deliver a sharp, unflinching look at what it means to fight for justice in a city built on secrets.
