Ferdig announces the national launch of Gumshoe & Fox, a gripping new crime thriller series, beginning with its debut novel: The Reunion: A Case of Revocable Trust. It is the kind of book that demands to be read in one sitting.

Behind every great detective series is one unforgettable first case — and this is it:

Meet Alan Garrett — Air Force veteran, twenty-year Special Investigator, and newly-minted private eye working out of Manhattan Beach, California. Garrett is sharp, instinctive, and just getting started. When an invitation arrives for his high school’s twentieth reunion, he decides to go. His reasoning is simple: “Might be an interesting evening where I can renew old friendships, have a few laughs. Might even pass out my cards, drum up some new business.”

He could not have been more wrong, or more right.

What begins as a casual evening among near-strangers becomes the most consequential night of Alan Garrett’s career. Before the reunion is over, he has stumbled upon a corrupt and far-reaching criminal enterprise, the one that has quietly ensnared scores, perhaps hundreds, of innocent victims. Garrett didn’t go looking for a case. But the case found him. And now he cannot walk away.

Set against the evocative backdrop of a 1999 high school reunion, The Reunion delivers everything fans of classic noir demand: a world soaked in shadow and moral complexity, a detective with iron instincts and a conscience to match, and a conspiracy that grows darker with every page turned. Ferdig’s signature style, including short, punchy chapters that snap forward with the rhythm of a jazz drummer, makes this a novel that is physically difficult to put down.

Behind the book is a writer whose life has been one long act of storytelling. A musician as well as a novelist, Ferdig brings an unmistakable cadence to everything he writes. His prose moves. It breathes. Alan Garrett has created a character with the kind of quiet magnetism that leaves readers hungry for the next case and the one after that.

The Reunion is now available in eBook and Paperback formats across all major platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart. Readers can directly purchase an autographed copy from the author’s website at https://ferdigwerks.com/the-reunion/.
