Invisible Dead: A Wakeland Novel launches a gritty private-eye series set on the streets of Vancouver, following 29-year-old ex-cop turned investigator Dave Wakeland.
Wakeland is smart, stubborn, and drawn to bad decisions. When he takes on the cold case of Chelsea Loam, a young woman who disappeared eleven years earlier, he finds a trail that leads from the margins of the city to career criminals and powerful men with everything to lose.
As he digs deeper, the search for Chelsea becomes increasingly dangerous, forcing Wakeland to confront his own ghosts as much as the city’s darkest corners. The case looks unsolvable—and a very good way to get killed—but walking away isn’t in his nature.
This fast-paced noir thriller blends hardboiled investigation with a sharp sense of place and contemporary social tensions, perfect for readers who enjoy morally complex detectives and atmospheric urban crime fiction.
