In the six months since Tom McInnes opted out of the work-hard, play-hard lifestyle of a successful Alabama law firm, his spirits are flourishing, even if his private practice is not. But Tom's peaceful, if unprofitable, existence is soon shattered by news of the brutal murder of his errant younger brother Hall. Summoned home to Cooper's Bend, Tom finds himself directly in the line of fire from his bullying father, menacing town toughs and the local law enforcement. Undaunted, Tom is determined to track down Hall's murderer. But before long, his probe puts him dangerously close to people who will stop at nothing to prevent him from discovering the truth. With pitch-perfect dialogue and plot twists to send the reader scrambling, Sins of the Brother marks the debut of a talented new writer.
