Paul D. Marks’s Duke Rogers P.I. series follows a private investigator in Los Angeles. White Heat (2012) introduces Duke Rogers, and Broken Windows (2018) continues the series.

White Heat is set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots and puts Duke Rogers in the middle of racial tension and a personal case that collides with the city’s chaos. Broken Windows picks up later as Rogers takes on another investigation against a backdrop of urban crime. Both books use real LA history and geography to ground the private eye stories.

Marks has won the Shamus Award for his crime writing, and the Duke Rogers books show why. The noir tradition runs through both novels, with Rogers as a classic flawed detective navigating a city that keeps generating trouble. Six years separate the two books, so Marks took his time with the follow-up.
