The Foxy Four

Dashelle Jones, Los Angeles PI and ex-FBI crack shot. Business is failing, and her last case didn’t end well. Dropping out, she takes refuge binging Captain Morgan at a local dive bar.
Her mother calls to inform her that her cousin Cindy committed suicide. They were inseparable as kids, but had grown apart. Apprehensively, she returns to her small home town to attend the funeral. Cindy owned the struggling local paper. Her editor confronts Dashelle and confides her suspicion that Cindy was on a story so juicy, she was murdered to conceal it. Cindy showed no suicidal tendencies—another reason to raise suspicion.
In search for the truth, Dashelle must dig into the past by retracing Cindy’s tracks. This led her to discover that Lori, a high school friend of Cindy’s, also happened to commit suicide under questionable circumstances. Was there a connection? Her clues would come from four incredibly handsome boys—also classmates—appropriately christened the Foxy Four. Dashelle falls for one, now a local cop.
Her unconventional (sometimes dodgy) investigation techniques, coupled with her general disdain of provincial locales, wreak havoc on the idyllic town. She also struggles to reconnect with her estranged family, who have problems of their own. Not helping matters is her inability to stay away from the bottle; she reconciles her lack of sobriety by now mixing the Captain with Full Throttle energy drinks.
In search for the truth, she navigates ubiquitous trees, humidity, millennial receptionists, drug dealers, donkeys, lemon slices, and her pesky four-year-old niece.
The past is a dangerous place, and Dashelle gets unwittingly enmeshed in its tangled web, tempting the same fate as Cindy and Lori. The last thing she wants is for someone else to “commit her suicide”.
