One For The Money

Murder in the Metroplex - Blake Franklin Book One

One for the Money – Murder in the Metroplex

Former Fort Worth police officer Blake Franklin is determined to prove himself as a private investigator after walking away from the detective’s shield he worked years to earn. When an unexpected opportunity gives him a chance to build something of his own, Blake takes it, ready to show he can stand on his own two feet.

His first case seems simple enough: a grieving widow, a valuable classic muscle car, and questions that don’t quite add up.

Then the bodies start turning up.

What begins as a routine investigation quickly pulls Blake into a dangerous web of fraud, deception, and a criminal mind willing to eliminate anyone who gets too close to the truth. Outmatched and inexperienced, Blake must rely on instinct, grit, and a stubborn belief that right still matters in a world where money speaks louder than justice.

As the stakes rise and danger closes in, Blake learns that being a private investigator means more than solving cases. It means deciding what kind of man he’ll be when evil pushes back.

One for the Money launches the Blake Franklin series, a clean, fast-moving mystery filled with sharp investigation, strong characters, and the timeless battle between good and evil.

Terrific story !

Absolutely marvelous story and characters. The narration suffers by the use of a computer and the author should give serious thought to using a real person.
