The Zachary Goldman Mysteries are trauma-informed psychological mysteries featuring a private investigator whose own life is rarely under control. Zachary may be flawed—with a capital F—but survivors, families, and people who have been dismissed often trust him with truths they cannot tell anyone else.
His cases begin with missing people, suspicious deaths, family secrets, exploitation, and crimes that look impossible. Zachary notices contradictions, follows physical and digital evidence, and keeps digging long after everyone else has given up.
These character-driven private investigator mysteries balance suspense and detection with grief, vulnerability, resilience, and the human consequences of crime. Even when Zachary’s own life is in shambles, he is the investigator you want when the easy answer does not add up.
Start with She Wore Mourning and follow Zachary through the complete series. The Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thrillers form a companion series whose cases sometimes intersect with his.
