The Rhythm of Evil

Thirteen years after Poppy Garcia was murdered in San Francisco, a Tweet, accusing the San Francisco Police Department of systemic racism and homophobia for dead-ending her case, goes viral.

SFPD Homicide Inspector Reggie Decker, infuriated by the tweet and the public relations nightmare that followed, receives permission to re-open the case for one week so he can quash this conspiratorial nonsense once and for all.

But it’s not that simple.

Decker’s initial review reveals Poppy Garcia’s Murder Book is awash in unfounded conclusions, false leads and outright lies; so many, in fact, he begins to wonder if the gossipy Twitter universe just might be on to something.

As new clues to Poppy’s life and tragic death emerge, Decker realizes he has stumbled upon a decades-old web of corruption and deceit leading down a twisted path of teenage sex trafficking, drug cartels, and political intrigue at the highest levels.

Decker also knows that whoever is guarding the explosive secret surrounding Poppy Garcia’s death is not about to let him uncover the truth.
