 | Sins of the Brother by Mike Stewart
Just when promising young lawyer Tom McInnes ditches his glamorous position at a successful Mobile, Alabama, law firm and is on his way to launching his own practice, he receives word that his kid brother Hall has died. Having fled from his family and backward hometown of Coopers Bend years ago, Tom was never aware of the details of his brother's life. But now that the coffin is nailed shut, facts about his fun-loving, drug-dealing brother are coming out of the woodwork. The most notable item is that Hall was, in fact, murdered. As Tom begins his quest to find his brother's killer, he soon becomes entangled in the complex life Hall left behind. Gamblers, drug dealers, dangerous men, and seductive women clutter Tom's path to truth and attempt to lure him into their dark, deceptive world. Can Tom find the killer without losing himself?
