Earthquake Shack, an LGBTQ Latino/a mystery, follows San Francisco investigator Sadie García Miller, who’s in the business of locating treasured lost objects for her clients. Sadie, who is half Mexican and half Jewish, gets a visit from her New York cousins and recalls her late father's warnings to never associate with the Jewish gangster side of their family. But when her shady cousins offer her a job to find a stolen cottage (a whole house, physically gone!), the intriguing case, the substantial fee, and the promise of revealed family secrets win out. With the help of her Gen-Z niece Daniela and her investigator friend Boyko, Sadie embarks on a search for the missing cottage at the same time as she seeks the truth from her mobbed-up cousins about the long-ago murder of her father. Along the way, she discovers a tangle of intergenerational family conflicts, meets an obsessed housing activist, and stumbles into a romance with a femme investigator. When she gets closer to the truth about the missing house, she finds herself in danger and discovers there is more at stake than just a stolen cottage.
