Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Foxed
Garry Ryan · 2013
75/100
👍 Worth It
Garry Ryan's Detective Lane series earns its Lambda Award nominations by doing something most crime series don't — building a protagonist whose personal life feels as fully realized as his casework. Book six is praised for its multicultural cast, clear prose, and a cold-case plot with real stakes. New readers will feel the series-depth gap, but for anyone already in Lane's world, this is a satisfying and well-crafted entry.
