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.

Pick this book up now.” —Jess Lourey, Edgar-nominated author of The Taken Ones

“Rachel Howzell Hall once again proves why she’s one of the best crime fiction authors writing today. Fog and Fury combines whip-smart observations about race and class with a twisty mystery and cliff-hanger ending that’ll have you already wanting to put the next book on your TBR list. It’s a must read for noir fans, especially if you loved her Lou Norton series.” —Kellye Garrett, award-winning author of Missing White Woman
