Vespa Crabro

<p><strong>When duty-aka the office-calls Detectives George Donovan and Andrew 'Andi' Hayes follow albeit reluctantly.</strong></p><p>In Spartanburg people are dying by arthropod and the office sends Andi and George to investigate. At first everything looks like a coincidence and well within statistical probability but the deeper they dig the blurrier and sinister everything becomes. And as if a chief hell-bent on protecting the reputation of his precinct and an FBI agent on the warpath weren't enough George's mother has announced a family visit for his upcoming birthday.</p><p>Andi and George don't know what's worse: a string of nonsensical murders with leads sizzling away faster than spittle on the hood of a car on a hot summer day or a mother in lioness mode determined to protect her innocent cub-George-from an evil menace-Andi.</p><p>Finding their strength in each other might be the key to surviving both.</p><p> </p><p>Vespa Crabro <em>is the fourth book in the Andi Hayes Detective series. It's M/M low on the romance (demisexual main character) and high on the murder with a healthy dash of family drama ghosts and-of course-enough creepy crawlers to make the hair on your nape stand up. It does have an HFN depending on one's definition of a happy ending for a story with multiple dead people in it. The main characters are reasonably happy so that counts...right?</em></p>
