New York Timesâbestselling author Susan Isaacs returns to the detecting duo loved by her readersâformer FBI agent Corie Geller and her retired police detective dadâwho must solve one of the NYPDâs coldest homicide cases before the crimeâs sole survivor is killed
When Corie Geller asked her parents to move from their apartment into the suburban McMansion she shares with her husband and teenage daughter, she assumed theyâd fit right in with the placid life sheâd opted for when she left the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI.
But then her dad gets a call from genial and slightly nerdy film professor, April Brownâone of the victims of the case he was never able to solve. When April was five years old, sheâd emerged unscathed from the arson that killed her parents. Now, two decades later, sheâs asking for help. Someone has made another
attempt on her life. It takes only a nanosecond for Corie and her dad to say Absolutely! and kick off a full-fledged investigation.
If they donât move fast, whoever attacked April is sure to strike again. But while her late father, Seymour Brown, was the go-to money launderer for the Russian mobâa brilliant, volatile, and violent man with a penchant for Swiss watches and cheating on his wifeâApril Brown has no enemies. Popular with her students,
esteemed by colleagues, her only connection to crime is her passion for the noir movies of Hollywoodâs golden age. Who would want her dead now? And who setthat horrific fire, all those years ago?
The stakes have never been higher. Yet as Corie and her dad have come to understand, they still live for the chase. Savvy and surprising, witty and gripping, Bad, Bad Seymour Brown is another standout hit from the beloved Susan Isaacs.
