Kelly Pruett inherited her father’s Portland detective agency and is still figuring out whether it’s her calling or just his unfinished business. Mary Keliikoa’s PI series follows Kelly through three cases that test her skills, her relationships, and her commitment to the work. Derailed (2020) starts with a case everyone tells her to drop, which is exactly why she doesn’t.

The three books were published between 2020 and 2022, with each one deepening Kelly’s confidence as an investigator. Keliikoa writes clean, paced-out mystery fiction that keeps the Portland setting grounded and the cases personal.
