ABOUT THE BOOK

This debut thriller from award-winning journalist Neal Lipschutz, former deputy editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, combines a gripping, good old-fashioned M**der mystery with the ethical consideration of just how far a person should go to protect their family.

In this debut suspense novel, Scott Morgan's carefully crafted life---one he had worked hard to insulate from the sort of tumult he had experienced growing up---is upended when a M**der victim is found in his daughter's Manhattan apartment. Scott and his loved ones become prime suspects. Morgan had lifted himself out of his old Brooklyn neighborhood into a successful career as a respected management consultant. A sign of his progress: his current address is an expensive home in the affluent suburb of Scarsdale, New York. When his twenty-eight-year-old daughter brings home a new beau---a fifty-five-year-old one-hit-wonder of a novelist---Scott suspects the writer is a serial user of people and sets out to expose him.

M**der, however, applies a screeching halt to Scott's investigation, as he, his wife, and daughter become suspects. His quest to forestall catastrophe means facing submerged demons from his Brooklyn past and matching wits with a clever and idiosyncratic NYPD detective. Scott's tool kit consists of the take-no-prisoners lessons he's gleaned from an ethics-free approach to business. How far will Scott go to protect everything he's worked for?

"Lipschutz’s sleek debut wraps its clever puzzle in an authentic portrait of the Big Apple and the varied lifestyles of its residents." –Kirkus
