The Murder Gambit

<p><strong>Five murders. Five methods. One mastermind. The Brown & McNeil series begins - fans of Law & Order will not put this down.</strong><br> </p><p><strong>​</strong><br> </p><p><strong>A man falls from a balcony. A hit and run on a busy city street. An execution in a private home. A woman collapses dead after a date. </strong><br> </p><p><strong>Five murders. Five methods. Five police jurisdictions - and no detective sees the bigger picture.</strong><br> </p><p><strong>Philadelphia Detective Vernon Brown is the lead investigator on one of the cases. When he meets James McNeil - a man whose father is among the dead - something unexpected happens: the two men discover they grew up blocks apart two years behind each other at West Philadelphia High School. Strangers on paper. Brothers by neighborhood.</strong><br> </p><p><strong>That bond pulls McNeil into the investigation as Brown's unofficial partner. Together they begin to suspect the killings aren't random - that someone has been very deliberately choosing victims for reasons that have nothing to do with passion revenge or rivalry.</strong><br> </p><p><strong>The motive when it finally comes into focus is something neither man could have imagined. And it goes far deeper than any one city any one precinct or any one body.</strong><br> </p><p><strong>Is The Murder Gambit a Shakespearean tragedy - or a sinister reality hiding in plain sight?</strong><br> </p><p><strong>The first novel in the Brown & McNeil Murder Mystery series.</strong><br> </p>
