About Murder In The One Percent
Product Description Someone comes to the party with murder in his heart and poison in his pocket…A powerful and rich playboy, a rare but naturally occurring poison, a newly divorced woman with an axe to grind, and pressure from the former President of the US—these are just a few of the challenges that African-American Detective Oliver Parrott faces when he answers a routine call for back-up and discovers someone died at a country estate the morning after an elaborate birthday party. When Parrott learns the deceased is the wealthy former US Secretary of the Treasury and just about everyone at the party had a motive to kill him, he realizes this will be the investigation to make—or break—his career. Review Winner of the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Readers Choice 2019 award Finalist for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Best Procedural 2019 award Semi-finalist for the Chanticleer Suspense/Mystery award Named one of the best mystery/suspense novels of 2018 by Hungry for Good Books From the Author The first in the Detective Parrott Mystery Series, Murder in the One Percent was inspired by a real-life birthday party at a country mansion in Brandywine Valley, Pennsylvania. The setting was so serene and luxurious, it was the last place you'd expect a murder to take place. That thought took seed in my mind and grew into the complex police procedural mystery with touches of romance and humor that we can enjoy today. I hope you'll join me for the elegant party and the intellectual and emotional puzzle that follows. Happy reading!
