Whether it’s a small village like Windeport, Maine, or the thriving municipality of Rancho Linda, California, there’s always a secret to be uncovered and a mystery to be solved. Let Sean Colbeth, Vasily Korsokovach or Kathryn Oliver be your guide as they explore unique cases set against memorable locations on both coasts.

It’s their first true Christmas together, so Alex has a sweet surprise planned for Vasily. Baubles hits shelves in December (unless you can’t wait…)

Sean Colbeth Investigates
Anchored in the small coastal Maine village of Windeport, Sean Colbeth has kept a watchful eye over the community where he grew up for nearly two decades. With a nearly nonexistent economy and a population in decline, the former Olympic swimmer finds he has more than enough time to lend his investigative expertise to other agencies, both in and out of the state he loves. It’s a carefully crafted existence that shatters unexpectedly one November morning, sending Sean on an unexpected journey to face personal truths he’d been hiding from everyone, including himself.
Set against vibrant locations and full of colorful characters, discover a different kind of detective who brings an unusually unique perspective to each case he tackles.
Vasily Korsokovach Investigates
After nearly two decades of being the right hand of his best friend, Vasily Korsokovach realizes something is missing from his life — and that he won’t be able to find it in Maine. Striking out on his own, Vas accepts a position in Southern California, a welcome change of scene with a chance to start over and discover the person he truly wants to be.
Surrounded by the glitz and glamour of the place where he grew up but never thought he would return, Vasily deals with the realities of being part of the LGBTQ+ community as only he can: with an acerbic wit and a devil-may-care attitude than often disguises investigative abilities second to none.
Joined by a cast of supporting characters just as memorable and varied as the grand state of California itself, Vasily Korsokovach is a refreshingly unique character you won’t want to put down.
