[Remy Moreau 01] • A Study in Sin

A Study in Sin, Book 1 in the Remy Moreau Mystery/Thriller SeriesA modern update of a classic Sherlock Holmes story

A wildly intriguing, intimately suspenseful story about the human capacity for good and evil - and what pushes us to inevitably, and often tragically, turn to our darker emotions for comfort.

Jacob Watts broke his neck in Afghanistan. Now he's in D.C. with no job, a therapist, an uncontrollable tick in his arm, and PTSD. And he can't pay his rent.

His new, and monetarily necessary roommate, Remy Moreau, isn't helping either. Cold and detached, she might be a savant - but she's also socially inept, has absolutely no boundaries, and is possibly dealing drugs out of their apartment. When the two come in contact with a stiff and blood-covered body in Capitol Row, the ambiguous Remy Moreau will lead him on an obsessive-compulsive hunt in pursuit of a tormented killer.

Can Remy, with Watts in tow, catch a murderer before he strikes again? And what are Remy's real intentions with Watts? Is she even capable of anything resembling real human emotion?

A Study in Sin is a fast-paced modern update of a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery.
