Angelhart Investigations

Nothing brings family together like crime. Working alone as a private investigator is tough. Estranged from her PI family, Margo Angelhart does what she must to get by—including taking on sordid cases that pay the bills, even if she'd rather be helping those the justice system has failed. That is, until a cheating husband case she's working intersects with her siblings' corporate espionage investigation, forcing Margo to cooperate with the Angelhart firm. Now, as the siblings compare notes, it's clear they need to work together before a white-collar crime escalates to murder. With far more questions than answers and a key suspect on the run, they'll need the whole family to pitch in. But as they investigate the ever-twisting mystery, Margo isn't sharing everything. Can she learn to trust her family and heal their once-close relationship before her secrets put those she loves most in danger?

A tragic accident...or a murder? The police ruled Elijah Martinez's death an accidental drug overdose, but the teen's grieving mother isn't convinced. With the case officially closed, Angelhart Investigations is the only one who can help her find the truth. Margo Angelhart's sure this will be an easy solve—she'll talk to Elijah's friends and employer, retrace his steps, and figure out what happened in his final hours. Except none of his friends believe he did drugs, and the teacher who's been vocal about the police mishandling the case turns up dead. Every thread Margo pulls leads back to a dangerous drug ring that once ran through the school. When Margo's brother Jack, a former cop, can't get straight answers out of the police, they don't know if it's because of an active case...or a cover-up. Margo's only sure of one thing—she has to find out what really happened to Elijah before more teens become pawns in a twisted scheme.

In this suspenseful new novella in New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan's Angelhart Investigations series, the PI team's biggest client hires them to look into a burglary that quickly escalates into a case with deadly stakes. Logan Monroe's family is in danger. After his sister, Laura, and her kids are run off the road and their house is broken in to, Logan tasks the Angelharts with keeping them safe, and the PIs drop everything to take on the case. But they quickly realize there's more to the situation than anyone thinks. First, the burglars didn't take anything—were they just trying to scare her or were they after something they didn't find? Then Laura can't reach her ex-husband, who was supposed to take the kids for the weekend. While Jack protects the family, Margo tries to find the ex...but he seems to have disappeared. As she digs deeper, Margo uncovers someone hiding in the shadows who will do anything to get what he wants—including killing anyone who stands in his way.
