When Things Fall Apart (The Kit Hanover Series Book 1) by Alan Brenham

The first homicide case for a brand-new detective hits tragically close to home in When Things Fall Apart by Alan Brenham, an electric first installment of the Kit Hanover series. Despite being pulled off the investigation, Kit Hanover of the Comanche Nation isn’t going to leave the hunt for justice in the hands of her bigoted ex-partner, which launches her into a vigilante search for the unhinged killer. Juggling the weight of maternal grief, survivor’s guilt, and the frustrating ineptitude of her own colleagues, Kit is willing to risk her career – and even her life – to uncover the brutal truth. While some of the police procedural elements feel rushed, the characters are raw and authentic, easy to root for or loathe, giving this novel a realistic and captivating edge that makes it difficult to stop reading.
