I liked the first two mysteries in Max Tomlinson's Colleen Hayes series. The series is sort of a detective-procedural series, mixed with a touch of noir, set in 1970s San Francisco. (Disclaimer: I lived near San Francisco in the 1970s, so I have a bit of fondness for the locale.) Now the third in the series,
Bad Scene, is on sale for $1.99 at Kindle US.

1978 San Francisco—a cult leader in Ecuador—one woman's struggle to reconnect with her lost daughter before it is too late
When PI and ex-con, Colleen Hayes, learns that a local neo-Nazi group are talking about shooting the mayor, she thinks it's just another rumor—until her source, a humble street newspaper vendor, winds up in SF General, beaten to a pulp.
To add to her grief, she discovers that her runaway daughter, Pamela, might have joined a shadowy religious group, building a church in South America near a volcano that is about to erupt. Death is the path to perfection according to the charismatic young preacher—and the date is fast approaching.
Colleen is desperate to find a way to stop her daughter from making the ultimate mistake before she—along with hundreds of others—lose their lives.
