Croaker: Chalk Whispers (Fey Croaker Book #4)

A brutal murder. A buried secret. A detective forced to confront the ghosts of her past before they bury her for good.

Newly promoted to lieutenant in the LAPD’s elite Robbery-Homicide Division, Fey Croaker knows her badge won’t shield her from resentment inside the department. But when the tortured body of high-profile attorney Bianca Flynn is discovered, Fey is thrown into a case as politically explosive as it is personally dangerous.

Flynn wasn’t just a prominent lawyer, she was the daughter of a judge, sister to a police commissioner, and the public face of a shadowy underground network that protected children from sexually abusive parents. Now, her death threatens to expose powerful enemies who will kill to stay hidden.

With her tight-knit crew, Fey dives headfirst into a maze of lies, power plays, and unthinkable abuse. But as the case deepens, Fey must also confront the death of her father’s former partner—a man who left her a suitcase full of cash and a trail of unanswered questions. Is it a coincidence? Or are the sins of her father bleeding into her own investigation?

In a city built on secrets, how many will die before the truth comes to light?
