Sonny Marshall, saxophonist, martial artist, and reluctant investigator. His compassion draws him into situations best left to the police.
New designer drugs are making the rounds in San Francisco and Marshall’s guitarist bandmate Eric Young falls victim to the lure. But they are dangerous compounds, putting some users in a uncontrolled rage, and leaving others catatonic.
Along with his girlfriend, Detective Sergeant Kat Hastings, Marshall follows the drugs through the city’s music scene, and criminal networks, searching for the chemist creating them.
Marshall is intelligent and physically capable of being the hero, but he’s vulnerable, and struggles with chronic pain and dependence on oxycodone.
Storm Damage is a dark, distinctive crime thriller with a memorable protagonist and examines addiction, trauma, and loyalty. Well recommended read.
