Denver, CO, May 12, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Riley Reeves is one tough female detective, and the East Texas landscape she inhabits is overflowing with interesting, dangerous, and entertaining characters who come to life on the page. On the same day that a socialite couple hires Riley to protect their daughter Carmen from a mysterious stalker, Riley’s troubled alcoholic brother and last living relative, Chip, shows up on her doorstep fresh out of the state penitentiary. Riley’s investigation soon uncovers that Carmen is deeply involved with a dangerous group of redneck gangsters, though their connection to the stalking remains unclear. Meanwhile, Chip is off the wagon and running wild, bringing constant trouble to Riley’s doorstep. As pressure ratchets up from all sides, personal and professional, will Riley be able to save the girl without neglecting her loved ones at the time they need her most?

"Private investigator Riley Reeves is exactly how I like my sleuths: whip-smart, tenacious, and compassionate. And tougher than a Texas rattlesnake when it comes to meting out justice to violent criminals. With its page-turning pace, surprising turns, and an insider’s look at the underbelly of Texas society, Michael Pool has launched a must-read series. I loved it!” – Barbara Nickless, author of the bestselling Sydney Parnell series, Blood on the Tracks, Dead Stop, Ambush, and Gone to Darkness.

“Throwing Off Sparks is a P.I. novel with more pulse-pounding action than most thrillers. This book will be landing on Best of 2020 lists." – Chris Rhatigan, Editor, All Due Respect.
