Deal Gone Bad Robertson Browne

Jesse Knight, a double O agent for NCA, learns that his brother has been murdered. Although estranged, Jesse is determined to bring his brother's killer to justice. His brother, Dr. David Knight, had been a well-liked professor of psychology at a small state college. He also practiced as a psychologist in skilled nursing facilities, drug treatment clinics, and mental health programs. Most recently, Dave discovered and brought down single handedly a drug ring working out of a chain of skilled nursing facilities on Cape Cod. Jesse, taking a leave of absence from NCA, travels to Cape Cod to attend his brother's Celebration of Life and reunite with his godchild, Julie, whom he hasn't seen in a decade. Jesse attempts to work amicably with local law enforcement and the State Police to solve the crime but to no avail. Using his NCA connections, he is appointed the lead agent in the field. Bringing together the police and outsiders who knew and loved his brother, Jesse creates a viable task force to solve the murder. Deal Gone Bad is a follow up mystery/thriller to Robertson Browne's two previous, highly acclaimed, David Knight mysteries. It builds upon both Six Days in May and Daze of September to create a cohesive trilogy. The action is fast paced and hard hitting. The characters are believable, and the story line credible.
