Since You Asked by E Arden Hale

Alan Baxter's lost the bulk of his savings and is struggling to make ends meet as a deejay in suburban Detroit. When he takes a job as a repo agent, he is dismayed to discover his first assignment is a car belonging to his drug dealer ex-boyfriend, Jason. In the middle of a heavy downpour, Alan's plan to quietly drive away with the cherry-red Mustang is derailed by a flat tire, and when a cop stops to offer assistance, they discover a body in the trunk, and Alan finds himself the prime suspect.

While trying to prove his innocence to the overworked and perpetually crabby Detective Treadwell, Alan and his best friends, Sabrina and Gus, find themselves caught up in a dangerous mystery involving a lethal new street drug sweeping through Detroit's club scene. When his apartment mysteriously goes up in flames, Alan, along with Sabrina and his traumatized cat, Baxter, are forced to move in with his overly supportive father, Everly.

Between dodging bullets, tracking down Jason, dealing with his home insurance company, and trying to stay employed, Alan must track down the drug supplier before he and those he cares about end up as nothing more than case files on Detective Treadwell's desk.
