Blurb: Detective Everett Larkin of New York City’s Cold Case Squad has been on medical leave since catching the serial killer responsible for what the media has dubbed the “Death Mask Murders.” But Larkin hasn’t forgotten that another memento—another death—is waiting to be found.
Summer brings the grisly discovery of human remains in the subway system, but the clues point to one of Larkin’s already-open cases, so he resumes active duty. And when a postmortem photograph, akin to those taken during the Victorian Era, is located at the scene, Larkin requests aid from the most qualified man he knows: Detective Ira Doyle of the Forensic Artists Unit.
An unsolved case that suffered from tunnel vision, as well as the deconstruction of death portraits, leads Larkin and Doyle down a rabbit hole more complex than the tunnels beneath Manhattan. And if this investigation isn’t enough, both are struggling with how to address the growing intimacy between them. Because sometimes, love is more grave than murder.

Release: Subway Slayings
I'm thrilled to finally be releasing the second book in the Memento Mori series and to have returned to my beloved Larkin and Doyle! These books are very difficult to write—piles of research books, endless hours lost to scientific studies, months of hemming and hawing over every single word because Larkin is so exact, so calculated, but so horribly broken, that the story is like walking a tightrope so as not to overwhelm the reader with too much sensory input. I hope you enjoy Subway Slayings as much as I did writing it.
Soundtrack: Subway Slayings
Today is the release of Book 2 in the Memento Mori series and the return of detectives Larkin and Doyle: Subway Slayings. With the exception of the denouement, usually because I'm just beyond frazzled at that point and can't bear a single sound while working, I always write to music and tend to obsess over the same half a dozen songs for the entirety of the project. Here's the soundtrack that Subway Slayings was written to:
Save Tonight - Eagle-Eye Cherry
Die Young - Sylvan Esso
BETTER - Royal & The Serpent
Without You - Avicii
Help Me - Alkaline Trio
I'm Good (Blue) - David Guetta & Bebe Rexha
Nine - Boom Boom Satellites
House of Memories - Panic! At the Disco
Experience - Ludovico Einaudi
