No Rest for the Wicked - Hardcover

by Kat Anderson (Author)

Beneath the flickering neon of the Las Vegas Strip, private investigator Max West thought he had encountered every enigma the desert could conjure. But when a young socialite vanishes from a powerful family, Max is drawn into a case that defies conventional logic. What begins as a missing-persons investigation quickly spirals into a dark web of ritualistic murder, high-society intrigue, and a centuries-old secret guarded by shadows who will kill to protect it.

The patterns of the case feel dangerously familiar to Max, echoing the unexplained disappearance of his own parents-government scientists lost to a void of official silence. At the center of the conspiracy lies the Heart of Khepri, an ancient relic rumored to bridge the gap between science and myth. To uncover the truth, Max must navigate a world where power is absolute and time itself is a prize. As bodies fall and allies turn uncertain, Max must decide if the answers he's chased for a decade are worth the danger of inviting in the darkness to uncover who has been pulling the strings all along.
