When a former NYPD colleague is shot dead in front of him, private investigator Marshall Grade discovers there's far more to the killing than meets the eye.
Ray Vialoux is in trouble. Big trouble. And he needs Marshall Grade's help. Reluctantly, Grade agrees to meet. Over dinner in a Brooklyn restaurant, he learns that his former NYPD colleague owes money - a lot of money - to the wrong people. But the conversation is cut short by gunfire, and suddenly Ray is lying dead on the restaurant floor. As Marshall investigates the circumstances leading up to the murder, tracking down the drug dealers, bag men, bent cops and mob players within Ray's orbit, it becomes clear there's far more to the killing than a gambling debt. Just who is responsible for Vialoux's death . . . and why? What secrets are his family hiding? And can Marshall find the answers before his own history marks him as the prime suspect?This read does catch your attention from the beginning to end! Must have been a real charmer to captivate two women and so easily ensnare them, as well as acquaintances and coworkers! Sad to think that he could not find happiness within himself to plan for a life of success without all the lies.

As I read this horrifying tale of a man, a sociopath, I kept shaking my head in disbelief. How could this man believe he could get away with this ruse of leading a double life? It seems that David Miller believed from the time he was a youngun that he was "special" and amazingly he became a very successful lobbyist, surrounded by elite politicians and beatiful, available women; He falls in love with Dorothy but not for one...

I agree with the other reviewers that this is an excellent book. I too could not put it down. I've read countless true crime books and this is one of the best. I didn't want the book to end, it's that good.

Very true and shocking story of David Miller, who leads a life of greed and deception. This is my fifth time reading this, and itseems to get better each time. I guarantee you will shake your head when reading this book. This would have made an OUTSTANDING made for TV or cable movie. I hope the author does consider this at some point.
