Love it, such a brilliant idea and so perfectly executed. A “who dunnit”, crime thriller, each chapter by a different crime writer. Writing for a cause. Each author retaining their own distinct style of storytelling yet coming together as one cohesive story. I was impressed that characters could be so enriched by many hands yet not depart from the essence of who they are.

So the story:

With the unfortunate name of Pericles; “Perry” Christo is a PI with a past—a former cop, who lost his badge and his family when a corruption scandal left him broke and disgraced. Then a seemingly straight forward missing person case lands in his lap. A mother is looking for her daughter, Angelina (Angel), who is about to become a very wealthy young woman. But as the  PI digs deeper, he discovers the more people that have connections with Angel the more complicated and dangerous the case gets.

Curl up and enjoy this read.
