Description
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.

Kat Anderson just landed herself on my "next big thing author list"!
Thank you Kat and Koehler Books and NetGalley for the ARC!
We have mystery, ancient secrets, conspiracy, murder, private investigators, science fiction, and so much more!
This book actually grabbed me and pulled me right in nearly straight away. The pacing was excellent and the flow was great. I admittedly have a hard time getting into and staying interested in a third person point of view but did not have any issues this time at all! It truly felt like I was getting to read a script for Hollywood's next big SciFi/Thriller movie.
Our story opens up in Las Vegas and follows our MMC PI Max West. Max is plagued by the sudden death of his parents when he was a young boy. Max begins researching the disappearance of the granddaughter of a local well known family, The Davenports. As Max digs around strange happenings, he begins connecting the dots with an old murder, his parents' disappearance and an ancient relic all connected to the Davenports. Max has no idea he is being watched and essentially manipulated into certain situations by an outside entity. It's hard to know who can be trusted. Just when you think you have the story figured out, another twist comes along and throws you off the trail!
The only thing I really can say I had a hard time with sometimes, was the multiple character POV's. In the end, I just needed to go back and re-read just a few pages to reset myself and get started back on the right path.
What a wild ride and great debut from Kat Anderson. Can't wait for the next in this gripping series!
