"The latest pulse-pounding thriller from Edgar and Barry Award finalist Mike Lawson starring his beloved Washington DC "troubleshooter" Joe DeMarco. Carson Newman doesn't wear tracksuits. He doesn't have a consigliere or operate out of the back room of a restaurant. And as evidenced by his ever-growing Boston empire, he doesn't get his hands dirty. Usually. Joe DeMarco, on the other hand, is paid to get his hands dirty. So, when John Mahoney, the former Speaker of the House, calls, DeMarco knows it's time to get to work. Brian Lewis, an intern for Mahoney, has been found dead, seemingly from a drug overdose.

Brian's mom is convinced that Brian was murdered because of what he'd learned, and it doesn't take long for DeMarco to come to a similar conclusion. In a city full of shadowy agreements and duplicitous deals, DeMarco will soon learn that to get to the bottom of Brian's death, he'll have to look at people perched the very top of the world"--

Should she remain silent or risk the career she loves by going public about a powerful elected official? The harassment allegation-along with evidence that the district attorney's corruption may have enabled a young mother's murder-dredges up painful memories from Anne's past, causes friction in her marriage, and propels her into a moral crisis.Breach of Trust is a gripping story of corruption, courage, community, and friendship. It's about one woman's profound decision to finally speak out against injustice"An absorbing new book filled with heart, wisdom, and a hero you'll cheer on from the opening page!"-Beverly Willett, author of Disassembly Required: A Memoir of Midlife Resurrection "Breach of Trust is a page-turner set in the much-publicized and romantic city of Savannah, Georgia. And its subjects--sexual harassment, domestic violence, and governmental corruption before the #metoo movement-are indeed timely. If you're like me, you will be riveted and want to read more."- Rosemary Daniell, award winning author of ten books of poetry and prose, including Fatal Flowers: On Sin, Sex and Suicide in the Deep South, Sleeping with Soldiers: In Search of the Macho Man, and Secrets of the Zona Rosa: How Writing (and Sisterhood) Can Change Women's Lives "Breach of Trust is a humdinger of a debut novel.

Bradley used her insider knowledge as long-time head of Savannah's crime victim advocacy program to create this compelling read about the devastating effect one person's deceit has on the justice system.

Bradley-herself a victim advocacy pioneer-has created a gripping, unforgettable story."- Dawn Major, author of The Bystanders
