As children, their father was jailed for the murder of their mother, and Teddy was left to care for Leo who tried to emulate his older brother, even following him into the legal profession. The two are at lunch one day when Teddy, supposed to give the closing argument of his current trial that afternoon, is shot: in public, in cold blood, the shooter escaping without Leo being able to identify him. As Teddy lies in a coma, Leo comes to the conclusion that the search for his brothers shooter falls upon him and him alone, as his brothers enemies were not merely the scum on the street but embedded within the police department as well. As he begins to examine the life of a brother he realizes he barely knew, Leo quickly realizes that the list of possible suspects is much larger than he could have imagined. The deeper Leo digs into Teddys life, the more questions arise: questions about Teddy and his ex-wife, questions about the history of the Maxwell family, even questions about the murder that tore their family apart all those years ago. And somewhere, the person who shot his brother is still on the loose, and there are many who would happily kill Leo in order to keep it that way -- Amazon.com. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1743967 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1742417 Reggie and Nigel Heath--brothers who lease law offices at 221B Baker Street in London, England, and answer mail addressed to the locations most famous resident, Sherlock Holmes--find themselves pulled once again into a case straight out of Arthur Conan Doyle. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1743953 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1683302 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738966 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1705771 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1692949 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1736030 When an old friend opens his own detective agency, PI Cat DeLuca sees a train wreck: everything Billy Bonham knows about being a private dick he learned from Humphrey Bogart.
