The Dizon Detective Agency Series

Teen private detective/tarot reader Danika Dizon has a new case! She must go undercover to find out who’s targeting the performers at a local festival before someone ends up dead, in this sequel to the award-winning Death in the Cards.

Danika Dizon is living her best life. Since solving a murder, she’s become a paid employee at her mom’s private detective agency, her once nonexistent love life is thriving, and she’s busy with cases and tarot readings. 

Still, when her best friend Nicole and her boyfriend Mo ask for help, Danika drops everything. Strange “accidents” keep happening to members of a Chicago-based flow arts group Mo belongs to, and he could be next. 

But before Danika can dig into these mishaps, a teen is found dead. Now she’s investigating a murder, and she’ll have to tread carefully at the group’s upcoming retreat. Because if the killer figures out what she’s up to, she might not make it home.

The young adult debut from the award-winning author of Arsenic and Adobo! When a high school tarot reader’s latest client goes missing after a troubling reading, she must apply everything she’s learned from her private investigator mother to solve a case of her own.

“Delightfully layered. The tarot readings bring a fresh and bright angle to this modern mystery. Mia P. Manansala has created an endearing voice in Danika—an intuitive, intelligent, and emotionally sharp amateur sleuth.” —Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan is Killing It

Danika Dizon is a natural problem-solver. Thanks to her private investigator mom and mystery author dad, she’s equipped with the skills to offer guidance to anxious classmates who come to her for a tarot reading between classes. For a price, of course.

But when one of her clients vanishes shortly after they’re dealt a death card, the girl’s younger sister Gaby begs Danika to figure out what went wrong. Danika takes on the case, thinking it’s the perfect way to prove to her parents that she should be an official investigator in the family’s detective agency.

What starts off as a compelling challenge quickly devolves into something darker as Danika and Gaby peel back layer after layer of the secret life the missing girl has been living. A life that those involved would do anything to keep from being revealed…
