My Brother's Widow

For four years Gevan Dean was in self-imposed exile from his family business, the business he had run until his brother stole his fiancee. Now his brother had been murdered and Gevan needed to know why.

My Brother’s Widow – For four years, Gevan Dean had refused to face Niki, the woman who’d hurt him. But now he had to—because her husband, Gevan’s brother, had been murdered

Part 2 – I couldn’t put off meeting Niki any longer, and maybe I didn’t want to. I’d have to meet Mottling, too—the big man who was running my business

Part 3 – When I saw what we were manufacturing in C Building, it gave me the shudders; we were making the trigger assembly for hell. And Colonel Dolson, the Army man on the job, was playing a secret game of his own

Part 4 – Alma Bradey knew something, but she didn’t want to talk. I made her talk though; I made her tell me something she shouldn’t have told anybody—if she wanted to live

Part 5 – I was a boy playing a man’s game. And I’d stuck my neck out so far I couldn’t dodge the bullets
