Angels In Mourning

Can a Hard-Boiled Private Detective survive in today's world? Can a dead man tell a tale? 
Early one morning, investigator Gabe Storm is summoned to an apartment by the NYPD. Storm learns his best friend, Scotty Granger, a Broadway playwright, is dead. Police suggest Granger died in a botched burglary attempt. Unwilling to accept the NYPD's take on the murder, Storm pursues the illusive killer into the underbelly of Broadway's high finance, the dangerous world of pimps and gangsters and through the halls of the U.S. Senate where he learns how even a dead man cannot keep a secret.
