Murder at the Faust – Available June 2026

Murder at the Faust is the 7th book in the Sydney Lockhart Mystery Series

“What is it like reading a Sydney Lockhart Mystery? Picture, if you will, Carl Hiaasen writing a classic film noir featuring the zany; red-haired reporter Sydney Lockhart who somehow gets herself into more tight situations than Lucille Ball did in a whole season of I Love Lucy.”
—Bruce Rolfe, author of the Chip Hale Handyman Mysteries

“With the tenacity of a terrier and her hilarious antics to solve murders, Sydney Lockhart will whisk you away on a vintage sleuthing ride. The combination of a smidge of romance, a dash of curiosity, and a whole lot of snooping makes this historic series funny and original. Never a dull moment with rollicking scenes that will entice you until the very end, The Sydney Lockhart Series is witty, engaging, and a perfect cozy mystery read.”
—Minette Lauren, author of The Hot Magnolia Series.

“Sydney Lockhart is one of the feistiest, funniest P.I.’s in Texas-or anywhere else! ‘50s pop culture and a crowd of quirky characters make Kaska’s latest mystery a killer read.”
—Sheila Webster Boneham, author of Catwalk and the other Animals in Focus Mysteries
