A Brown & McNeil Murder Mystery Book 2
Even
before he has played his first game in high school, it would seem
nothing can stop Bo Campbell's meteoric rise to stardom in the
basketball world. In Philadelphia, people are already comparing him
to his Overbrook High School predecessor, Wilt Chamberlain.
But
his dreams are suddenly shattered when he is arrested for the murder
of his best friend, Sherman Claxton.
Detective Vernon Brown,
and James McNeil, his friend and Bo's grandfather, search for the
truth, but James goes rogue, and soon finds himself in the dangerous
underbelly of the Philadelphia drug sub-culture, where the stakes are
high and it's hard to tell who's friend and who's foe.
