In the vast Nevada desert, some secrets refuse to stay buried.

When a hiker stumbles upon human remains in the remote Black Rock Desert, Chief Detective Hector Ramirez is pulled into a twenty-five-year-old murder case that will shake the foundations of Reno's power structure. As his team uncovers evidence linking the death to a controversial casino development project, they realize they're dealing with more than just a cold case—they're confronting a decades-long web of corruption that reaches into the heart of law enforcement itself.

With mounting pressure from influential figures determined to keep the past buried, Ramirez must navigate a dangerous landscape of organized crime, corrupt officials, and deadly consequences. Every step closer to the truth puts his team—and those they love—at greater risk.

A Grave in the Sand is a pulse-pounding thriller that explores the price of justice and the weight of secrets long buried beneath the desert sun. This fifth installment in the Hector Ramirez series proves that in Reno, what happens in the past never truly stays there.

From the author of Murder at the Willows comes another gripping chapter in the Hector Ramirez series.
