Just Hear Me Out

Every terrible idea starts with four words. "Just hear me out." Detective Sean Mitchell has a habit of asking questions no one else thinks to ask. His longtime partner, Larry Anderson, has a habit of regretting every time he listens.

When a missing man leaves behind a trail of impossible clues, Sean and Larry find themselves pulled into an investigation that refuses to follow the rules. Alongside the ever-patient Lieutenant Carlos Morales, the unshakable Mrs.

Henderson, and a bullpen full of detectives who know better than to encourage Sean's latest idea, every answer only seems to uncover another question. But some mysteries aren't just about finding the truth. They're about understanding the people who lived it.

Set inside a busy 1980s police precinct filled with coffee, paperwork, laughter, and more than a few questionable decisions, Just Hear Me Out is a character-driven mystery about friendship, curiosity, and the ordinary people who quietly become extraordinary simply by showing up.

If you enjoy memorable characters, witty dialogue, workplace camaraderie, and mysteries that balance humor with heart, you'll feel right at home in the bullpen. Sometimes the best stories begin with the worst ideas.
