Played to Death: A Scott Drayco Mystery by BV Lawson
A Shamus Award Finalist and Named Best Mystery in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards
Still haunted by nightmares from a tragic case, brilliant detective Scott Drayco is on the brink of retirement. When a former client leaves him a dilapidated Opera House in a Virginia seaside town, Drayco hopes to sell it quickly and heal his battered soul in peace.
But that peace shatters when he discovers a corpse on the Opera House stage, marked with a cryptic “G” carved into its chest. Now a suspect himself, Drayco must unravel ancient, dangerous secrets to clear his name and solve the murder.
Facing a wary sheriff, fierce opposition over coastal development, and the seductive wife of a town councilman, Drayco is caught in a web of deceit and danger. As tensions mount and violence looms, he must act fast to prevent becoming the next victim.
