Dawnstar Trilogy
The Dawnstar Trilogy, like most of the others, sees different groups of people dealing with their own individual traumas and stresses. In addition, though, in the background, the machinations of those in the underworld of St. Louis start to come to the surface. Plans set in place decades ago start to come together, and it's up to our intrepid characters to put a stop to what could very well topple all that's good in the city.
When private investigator Conrad Marshal goes into the Dollhouse, what he thinks is an underage brothel, looking for missing kids, what he finds is something he never expected. Those in the brothel are not underage, but they are also not there by choice. Drugged and resembling made up dolls, they’re being guarded and kept from leaving.
Reaching out to the FBI and friends in Santa Cruz, he tries to hand off the victims and leave the scene behind like always. Things don’t work out the way he expects. Instead of leaving for his next case, he finds himself taking care of a volatile and traumatized young man named Taylor Owens who attaches to him. Conrad tries to keep his distance, but there is something there between them that he can’t ignore. Something intense and unbreakable. He’s the only one that Taylor will communicate with in a meaningful way, and Taylor is supposed to be the next “chosen” of the group by the nefarious people that were holding them. There’s more than just a brothel in the Dollhouse, and now Conrad has to figure out what is really going on.
