The Man Who Killed His Brother

An alcoholic former private investigator; his missing niece; a police force unable to find her; and a horrifying race against time…

Mick ‘Brew’ Axbrewder has plenty to think about. A once capable private investigator, he is now an alcoholic after having lost his license following the accidental shooting of a police officer – his own brother.

When not drinking, Brew helps out Ginny Fistoulari, a tough, capable P.I. who he used to work with and with whom he’s always shared a connection. But Brew and Ginny have an arrangement that she will never drag him out of a bar – so when she does just that, Brew knows it must be something serious. And it is. Brew’s thirteen-year-old niece – his dead brother’s daughter – has gone missing. The police are doing nothing and suspect she is a runaway.
