He's the last man you want on your case. Unless you're really innocent.

Private Investigator Jim Knighthorse doesn't do "easy." Especially when an obnoxious Hollywood agent walks in the door demanding Jim prove the impossible: that his dead superstar client is actually alive.

Freddie Calgary was the classic child actor cautionary tale: Disney Channel golden boy turned tabloid disaster. When he was found dead in a Sedona hotel room, it was ruled natural causes. Case closed. Body cremated. End of story.

But now, years later, people claim to have seen him. And someone keeps leaving cryptic voicemails for his family, whispering "sorry" before hanging up.

Hired to chase a ghost, Knighthorse follows a twisted trail of rumors, blurry photos, grieving family members, and reluctant witnesses. The more he digs, the more he suspects Freddie Calgary might have pulled off the ultimate Hollywood act: faking his own death to escape it all.

But uncovering the truth could ruin lives... and get Knighthorse killed.

Clean Slate is the fourth novel in the acclaimed Jim Knighthorse mystery series; perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker's Spenser, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and modern California noir with razor-sharp humor and heart.
