Failure:
A dead college kid left in the center of a baseball field. A disturbing note that could mean there is a serial killer on the loose. And an exhausted cop’s ever-growing fear that he is somehow a clue in the case.
Cory Van Doren is still reeling after waking up on his living room floor with twenty-four hours missing from his memory. When his partner calls him out to investigate a homicide, Cory’s world is flipped upside down.
Can Cory maintain his impossibly high standards even though he feels like he could break at any moment? Was he really at the same nightclub where the victim was last seen? And why does every layer he pulls back seem to reveal more and more rotten flesh?
With his fears and memories becoming harder to ignore, Cory finds himself entangled in the most challenging case of his life. As the walls close in around him, he must try to separate his nightmares from reality, although they are starting to feel like one and the same.
Will he solve the murder case before another innocent person dies? What if his involvement is more sinister than he first fears? And how can a man keep a level head when everything around him becomes twisted beyond recognition?

Book 2 seems to have more of the talk in it that the previous books which explains a lot of what is going on with Van Doren. His psyche is wound up tight and the introduction of Bishop may shed some light on not only his psyche but also the over all arc of Eric's death.
Just when you think you have the story sort of figured out...there is the twist.
My questions are: 1. Why is he blacking out waking up with not only lost time but different than before? 2. What is the connection he feels with Bishop? 3. Why is now the time his brother and father show up in his dreams and thoughts - is it the case or is it time to deal with the underlying issue from childhood brought on by the case?
I guess to get answers I have to keep reading... I'm really vested now.

Unbelievably good.
I stumbled upon this series by mistake. The prequel popped up on my feed. I guess its because I read so much detective stuff :)
The prequel was good, but I was blown away by the first real-time book, Sugar Rush. I was worried the author wouldn't be able to maintain the tension and unbelievable character building. I was wrong to worry.
I've never read a book where the character is so accessible yet so spellbinding.
Genuinely can't get enough.
Please, if you like detective books or just books with amazing characters, read this.

Detective Van Doren is spiraling downhill fast. He keeps coming up with reasons not to worry though he is still wondering if the death of the young man has something to do with himself. This story is getting creepy, and I can't wait for the next part. Very highly recommended.
