Cabo Sunset: A PI Series (Cabo Book #3)

Private investigator mysteries aren’t known for second chances—or clean exits. But in Cabo San Lucas, nothing stays buried forever.

Still mourning the sudden death of his wife, Ethan Cruickshank isn’t looking for work—or trouble, but when Jeff LaForge, an old acquaintance and longtime rival, shows up with a bundle of threats and a bruised ego, Ethan reluctantly agrees to take the case. LaForge, now a brash tech mogul riding the wave of Mexican labor and e-commerce wealth, claims someone wants him dead.

The deeper Ethan digs, the more tangled the threads become. There’s LaForge’s charismatic wife, Abby—Ethan’s former flame and the reason LaForge never trusted him. There’s the murdered photographer, Jimmy Hopper—beloved by all, except, apparently, his killer. And then there’s the trio of goons who leave Ethan bloodied in a restaurant parking lot.

Hard-boiled mystery meets personal reckoning as Ethan navigates old tensions, deadly secrets, and the hollow spaces left behind by loss. He’s flawed, grieving, and more than a little reckless—but he’s not done fighting. Not yet.

Set against the golden glow of a Cabo sunset, this sun-soaked noir delivers a gripping mix of revenge, regret, and resilience. With the past closing in and bodies hitting the sand, Ethan must figure out who to trust—and why LaForge hired him in the first place.

Can Ethan solve the case before it swallows him whole? Or will Cabo finally break the man who came here to escape?
