But then, when he stops in at his doctor’s to pick up an Oxy prescription (he’s titrating down, honest), he accidentally trips and falls on the doctor’s corpse. That leads to his being a person of interest in the murder. Now he has to clear his name before he can even think about returning to LA.
As he does, he has to contend with a friendly private eye from Grand Rapids, a long line at his local drug dealer’s, an over-crowded book club—and one very unexpected, very large surprise.

Year of the Rat is now an audiobook!

Long Beach, California 1996. Despite having little obvious experience, bartender Dom Reilly is hired as an investigator for the Freedom Agenda, a not-for-profit justice project. His first case involves a twelve-year-old homicide, in which a teenage girl was viciously murdered. The boy in prison for her murder, Danny Osborne, is seemingly exonerated by DNA evidence but the authorities refuse to accept it as proof. Dom and his boss, Lydia Gonsalez, slowly put together an iron-clad case, one the district attorney can’t ignore. As they do so, each puts themselves at risk-threatening not only their personal reputations, but their lives.
