Andi's mysterious talents are growing stronger, making it harder to block out the barrage of information and taking a toll on his physical and mental health.

When duty-aka the office-calls, Detectives George Donovan and Andrew 'Andi' Hayes follow, albeit reluctantly.In Spartanburg, people are dying by arthropod, and the office sends Andi and George to investigate. At first, everything looks like a coincidence and well within statistical probability, but the deeper they dig, the blurrier and sinister everything becomes. And as if a chief hell-bent on protecting the reputation of his precinct and an FBI agent on the warpath weren't enough, George's mother has announced a family visit for his upcoming birthday.Andi and George don't know what's worse: a string of nonsensical murders with leads sizzling away faster than spittle on the hood of a car on a hot summer day, or a mother in lioness mode determined to protect her "innocent" cub-George-from an "evil" menace-Andi.Finding their strength in each other might be the key to surviving both. Vespa Crabro is the fourth book in the Andi Hayes Detective series. It's M/M, low on the romance (demisexual main character) and high on the murder, with a healthy dash of family drama, ghosts, and-of course-enough creepy crawlers to make the hair on your nape stand up. It does have an HFN, depending on one's definition of a happy ending for a story with multiple dead people in it. The main characters are reasonably happy, so that counts…right?
