Lev AC Rosen delivers a new and captivating 1950s mystery in this dazzling, award-winning series Private Investigator Evander "Andy" Mills' next case takes him out of his comfort zone in San Francisco-and much to his dismay, back home to Los Angeles. After a secretive queer rights organization called the Mattachine Society enlists Andy to find some missing members, he must dodge not only motorcycle gangs and mysterious forces, but his own mother, too. Avoiding her proves to be a challenge when the case leads Andy to the psychiatric clinic where she works. Worlds collide, buried secrets are dug up, and Andy realizes he's going to have to make some hard choices. With secrets, drugs, and doctors swirling around him, time is running out for Andy to locate the missing and get them to safety. And for him to make it back to San Francisco in one piece.
