BLACK GARDEN: A Tanner & Cole Investigation

By Robert Gregory Browne

Meet Tanner and Cole, the golden boys of Southgrove's Robbery-Homicide Division.

A call before dawn drags detectives Dashiell Tanner and Lucas Cole out to a blood-soaked parking lot, where the victim of a shooting-a slick film producer with a shady resum -seems like the perfect mark for a random carjacking. But when the clues start stacking in the wrong direction, Tanner and Cole follow a trail that winds toward an upscale cliffside mansion to the chaotic set of an adult film, where the behind-the-scenes drama is as tangled and dangerous as the case itself.

What starts as a straightforward homicide investigation quickly deepens into something murkier: a missing luxury SUV that reappears in the wrong driveway, a ransacked townhouse, and a hulking intruder with a taste for vintage porn. As Tanner and Cole dig deeper, they uncover a world of coercion, illicit deals, and high-stakes betrayals, where every witness has something to hide and every lead comes wrapped in lies.

In Black Garden, Robert Gregory Browne delivers a taut, witty, and propulsive detective story that blends grim banter with cinematic grit, keeping the tension high and the pages turning until the final reveal.
