"Sick to Death is a must-read from a master of the private eye genre."
—Michael Bracken, Anthony, Edgar, and Shamus nominee

Starting with a daring art heist and a walloping surprise for disgraced quarterback–turned–private eye Andy Hayes, this riveting mystery novel—eighth in the Shamus Award-nominated series—takes readers on a roller coaster ride through COVID and the anti-vaxxer movement, the streets of Columbus, Ohio, and an FBI investigation that points too close to home.
