the Lyle Dahms Mysteries- Ragged in Rain

When his best friend's sister vanishes with a man known for his drug habit, Minneapolis private investigator Lyle Dahms heads to Seattle to bring her home. But the city he finds is nothing like the postcards-its rain-soaked streets hide a growing homelessness crisis, predatory dealers, and police who don't want an outsider stirring up trouble. Searching for the missing woman, Dahms leans on unlikely allies: an elderly Filipino food bank volunteer with sharp instincts and a handful of strangers whose loyalties shift like the weather. Each lead pulls him deeper into a world ruled by desperation, where trust is scarce, and danger waits around every corner. Far from home and increasingly out of his depth, Dahms must decide how much he's willing to risk to keep a promise. Because the truth behind the young woman's disappearance is darker than he imagined-and finding her may cost him far more than he came to give.
