A Dane Strickland P.I. Mystery

In Hollywood, the truth doesn’t disappear.
It gets rewritten.

Private investigator Dane Strickland has seen enough bad endings to know when a story doesn’t add up. So when a vanished screenwriter leaves behind a blood-stained script, Strickland knows he’s not chasing a missing person—

He’s chasing something people are willing to kill to keep off the screen.

The script is called Judas.

It reads like fiction.
It feels like a confession.
And buried in its pages are names—powerful, untouchable names—connected to a night no one admits ever happened.

A dead girl.
A silent studio.
A city built on secrets.

As Strickland digs deeper into the shadows of Vine Street, he finds himself caught between a fading movie star, a woman who knows more than she’s saying, and a network of men who don’t make mistakes—only problems disappear.

The deeper he goes, the clearer it becomes:

This isn’t just a missing persons case.

It’s a cover-up written in smoke and celluloid.

And Strickland just turned the first page.

ASHES ON VINE STREET is a hardboiled noir mystery packed with sharp dialogue, cinematic tension, and a detective who knows that in Los Angeles, the most dangerous thing you can do…

…is to remember what really happened.
