Everyone knows the first forty-eight hours are the most important after a homicide. But for Detective Luke Guillory, the first forty-eight hours are all he gets—over and over and over.
Luke is a pariah in the Sacramento P.D.: the son of a disgraced police chief, he has the lowest close rate on the force. After a freak power outage, Luke finds himself reliving the same two days after a local real estate developer is murdered. With the help of a cynical retired detective, he discovers he must catch the murderer to escape the time loop. But his own department has turned against him, his mother's in jail, and the web of deceit complicates everything about the case.
Can Luke solve the murder—and get his life back?

Coroner Fenway Stevenson is driving her boyfriend’s moving truck from California to Colorado. She and her friend Piper stop at a museum east of Vegas, only to be shocked at the financial and artistic betrayal of the artists on display in the name of innovation.
But when the museum’s director is found dead next to the moving truck with Piper’s knife sticking out of his chest, Piper is the main suspect. Fenway must use all the tools at her disposal to find the real killer and save her friend.
A secret marriage, an angry mistress, shady investors, not to mention the hundreds of artists who had their money stolen. There’s no shortage of suspects—but none of them owned the murder weapon. Can Fenway find the killer and save Piper before becoming the next victim?
