Surprise! Jim Knighthorse is back! Bigger, badder, and better than ever!

Two cases. One unbreakable PI. And a very personal run at justice.

Jim Knighthorse isn’t limping anymore. A miracle in the desert healed his ruined leg—but didn’t fix his sharp tongue or his appetite for trouble.

This time, trouble comes in pairs.

First, a group of women in their fifties hires Jim to track down a smooth-talking scammer who’s been ghosting them after lavish first dates—leaving them with the bill and a bruised sense of trust. Jim plans to make sure he pays them back. Literally.

But then Sanchez, Jim’s cop friend with a murder backlog, asks for help with a surfer’s suspicious death at Devil’s Backbone Cove. A supposedly accidental drowning smells like murder. But getting answers means going undercover among territorial surfers who don’t talk to cops—and who might kill to keep their secrets buried.

From seedy restaurants to windswept coves, Jim Knighthorse is determined to get justice—even if he has to write a dating profile, beat the waves with old injuries, and chase leads no one else wants to touch.

Night Run is the fifth novel in the acclaimed Jim Knighthorse mystery series—perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker’s Spenser, Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, and classic California noir with modern humor, grit, and heart.
