Description
PI Steve Rockfish's father loses part of his retirement savings in an online romance scam while partner Jawnie McGee handles the firm's newest client who spins a tale of alleged spousal infidelity. Rockfish ignores his current case load and becomes fixated on tracking down those responsible for the fraud. Restitution is coming in the form of cash or broken bones. At the same time, Jawnie's surveillance of the cheating spouse reveals more acts of kindness than sex leading to a client who doesn't want to believe the good news.
Unbeknownst to the partners, each investigative path leads the partners to the Church of the Universal Nurturing II where the fraud is on a cryptocurrency level. Their new SunCoin is marketed as the only post-rapture currency accepted inside the pearly gates. After all, who wants to show up to the after party with out-turned pockets and not get past Heaven's paywall?
Church elders court Rockfish and his new-found Hollywood wealth with an old-fashioned honey pot. The danger level ratchets up as Rockfish counters by sending the firm's two new confidential informants undercover only to find the church's endgame grift is larger and deadlier than anyone expected.

About the Author
Reviews
"Equal parts breezy buddy comedy and action-packed PI novel, Harris' latest boasts witty banter, high-risk hijinks, and a ton of heart." -Mystery Scene Magazine
"...even paced, has some great comedic relief to lighten the darker parts and the inclusion of some 21st century spy toys and the pandemic makes it timely keeping readers engaged until the end." -The Reading Frenzy
"This book is full of adventure and has a fairly fast pace. We see growth in all of the characters and have a deeper understanding of who they are and what they can accomplish." -Storeybook Reviews
"I loved this action packed, laugh out loud funny book." -Paws.Read.Repeat
"Harris has created his own sub-genre with this series, which is a beautiful and unique thing to see. Beloved characters must brave the most dangerous, harrowing journey yet. The suspense woven through this tale is done with a finesse rarely seen, and ensures we stay glued to the page." -Ben Eads, author of Cracked Sky and Hollow Heart
"The second in the Case Files of Steve Rockfish series begins with separate cases involving a cheating husband, a corrupt religious cult, a stockpile of poison gas, and a currency scam. The cases come together in a wild ride worthy of a chase scene in a movie, as the detectives pursue the cult leader in a rip-roaring page turner of an ending." -Carolyn Geduld, author of Take Me Out The Back and Who Shall Live
"Harris takes you on two journeys you hope will never happen to family members but fear it could. The emotional roller coaster you will ride, keeps you reading and hoping the end comes with a taste of sweet revenge. Harris finds a way to weave a story that keeps you turning the pages and wanting more Rockfish." -Stephen W. Briggs, author of Family of Killers-Memoirs of an Assassin
"Harris has developed a winning formula, elements of which are a cast of interesting characters whose interactions include a big dose of sly humor and a classic car he's dubbed Lola, crimes that are a bit unusual, and investigative methods that, well, don't bear close scrutiny." -Crime Fiction Lover
