Fog and Fury
She’s a new PI in a beautiful seaside town. It’s dirtier than it looks―and more dangerous too―in a twisting novel of suspense by the Anthony Award–nominated author of These Toxic Things.
After ten years on the force, LAPD cop Sonny Rush relocates with her elderly mother to peaceful Haven, California, to join her godfather’s burgeoning PI business. What crimes could possibly happen in a town nicknamed “Mayberry by the Sea”? Sonny’s first case: find Figgy, a missing goldendoodle last seen sporting a Versace collar. At least scouting out a dognapper gives Sonny a chance to get to know her new neighbors.
Forty-eight hours in town and Figgy’s disappearance entangles Sonny in an unwelcome reunion with her ex, one of Haven’s wealthiest citizens. And when the body of a teenage boy is found along a popular hiking trail, Sonny is drawn into a web of strange beyond anything she ever saw in LA.
Then comes a local’s warning: question everything. Haven hides secrets that could destroy its idyllic facade. Or destroy Sonny first.

Haven Thrillers
In the shadowed corridors of a remote wellness retreat, peace is promised but danger waits just beyond the gates. This is the unnerving world at the heart of Haven Thrillers—a series that peels back the layers of serenity to expose the rot beneath.
Set against the eerie calm of Haven Woods, a community built on whispered secrets and curated tranquility, the series draws readers into a place where survival often hinges on what’s left unsaid. The retreat’s glossy exterior hides a growing sense of dread, where every guest arrives looking to heal but quickly realizes that nothing here is accidental—not the setting, not the people, and certainly not the silence.
Haven Thrillers consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
