DeMarco and his partner, Jayme, get some good leads, but then tragedy strikes. The girl and her grandmother are found dead in their home, supposedly of carbon monoxide poisoning from a blocked furnace vent. But something feels fishy to DeMarco, and he keeps digging. What he finds is rampant corruption, from a local judge to the fire inspector. In When All Light Fails, the secrets DeMarco digs up are darker than anyone could have imagined"--Book Synopsis
A new mystery from Randall Silvis, critically acclaimed master of crime fiction
When powerful men pull strings to get what they want... someone almost always ends up dead
There's not much that would convince retired police sergeant Ryan DeMarco to take on another private investigation case, but he can't refuse a nine-year-old Michigan girl begging for help finding her biological father. The road trip to the Upper Peninsula promises DeMarco and his partner, Jayme, a chance to heal from their last case, which ended in a traumatic brush with death for DeMarco. But things aren't as they first appear in the woods of Michigan, and the seemingly simple paternity investigation soon morphs into something deadly.
The deeper DeMarco, Jayme, and the rest of their team dig, the more ugly truths they reveal, all while doing their best to keep one member of their team, from falling prey to her own kind of darkness. This investigation just might be the most emotionally troubling one DeMarco and Jayme have yet encountered, for there are plenty of people who will do whatever it takes to shut them down before the truth comes to light.
Acclaimed author Randall Silvis expertly weaves a shocking tale of secrets and lies in When All Light Fails, a suspense-fueled mystery that will leave readers guessing until the very last page.

Review Quotes
"A soulful, deeply felt story." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Hard-edged and smartly plotted...DeMarco is an interesting character: not just your typical ex-cop-with-a-past, but rather a vividly realized, robust, and abundantly human character." -- Booklist
"Silvis delivers crisp action sequences, but most memorable are DeMarco's long, ruminative dirgressions that sum up the career of a complicated, honorable man. Readers will be sorry to see the last of him." -- Publishers Weekly
