The
Phenom
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.

unexplained death in a nursing home. A man falls from a balcony. A
