The Detective Damien Drake series follows a homicide detective through 12 investigations that grow progressively more dangerous and personal. Butterfly Kisses (2017) introduces Drake and the dark world he operates in, while subsequent cases pull him deeper into the criminal underworld.
The series includes a two-part Drug Lord storyline (2018-2019) and escalates through books like Human Traffic, The Straw Man, and Almost Infamous. Each case is self-contained enough to satisfy as a mystery, but the character development and ongoing subplots reward readers who follow Drake from Butterfly Kisses through Happy Face (2022).
