He could&#8217;ve been warned, but that person is buried and dead&#8230;. Martin Trescott was brutally murdered. With an endless supply of money and dark and cold secrets, the list of suspects is unlimited. Brandon Caldwell teams up with Kennedy Biscoe to untangle the chaos. But unraveling the mystery proves to be even more complicated than first expected. Martin&#8217;s enemies will do anything to keep their corruption buried and are preparing for drastic events that just might change the world forever. Then, it seems like someone is targeting Brandon and Kennedy. With life on the line, can they discover how Martin links into all of this before time runs out? Or will they be silenced first?<\/p>\n<h2>Book excerpt<\/h2>\n<p>The killer guest patted his front pants pocket. The pocket contained a pocket knife and some fishing line. The other pocket held a plastic zipper bag of gloves. No one would even suspect foul play until it was far too late. The killer guest had killed before. Killing was easy. The hard part was the body. But the killer guest wasn\u2019t afraid of that. He always left the body at the scene. The right amount of planning and the result is yet another perfect crime. Martin Trescott had ruined the guest\u2019s life. For that, he would pay the ultimate price. This would be the killer guest\u2019s most exciting kill. The revenge would be so very sweet because it had been waited for for too long. The killer guest looked at the watch on his wrist. 9:00 p.m. Perfect. The killer guest could mingle for an hour, take care of Martin at 10, clean up, and mingle some more until 11:30. Then, leave. Perfect. Precise. And always too easy. The grand room was filled with guests. Why these boring people wanted to stand around in suits all night was beyond the killer guest. Even the women were required to wear suits for this event. Normally, Martin\u2019s parties were regular social events. This one, however, was a political event. A complete waste of Martin\u2019s time since he wouldn\u2019t be a political candidate now. The killer guest took another peek at the time. 9:55. Finally. The time had come. The killer guest excused himself from the dull company and fetched two glasses of fruit punch. Then, the killer guest dumped a pack of the secret ingredient into one. He made his way to the back of the house and checked to make sure the stairs were empty. These stairs were only supposed to be utilized by the servants. Once assuring himself it was safe, the killer guest soundlessly rushed up. Then he let himself into the master suite. As he closed the door, the killer guest saw Martin was already inside. Oh how perfectly everything was going. \u201cMartin, my friend. I was wondering what was keeping you. You do have guests to entertain.\u201d The room was dark except for one small lamp in the back, left corner, near the French doors to the balcony. Martin stood in the center of the room. \u201cI received a note from someone asking me to meet them here at ten.\u201d He replied. \u201cOh, Martin! You really shouldn\u2019t believe everything you read. You never know when it could land you in a deadly situation.\u201d The killer guest paused to smile at Martin. \u201cPeople aren\u2019t trustworthy. Don\u2019t you agree?\u201d Martin chuckled. \u201cYou know I\u2019m always armed. I have my fair share of enemies of course.\u201d That may be true but you never know when one might catch you off guard. Anyways on a more cheery note, I brought you some of that delicious punch that you\u2019re serving downstairs.\u201d Martin accepted the cup. \u201cI appreciate it.\u201d He took a long drink. \u201cThis is delicious. Wonder who sent me that note though.\u201d Both took another drink. \u201cOh, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find out soon enough.\u201d Martin began to sway. \u201cBring me a chair, if \u2026 if you will. I\u2019m feeling a bit lightheaded.\u201d The killer guest gave Martin a cold smile. \u201cWe won\u2019t be needing a chair. It looks like one of your enemies caught you off guard after all.\u201d The guest began pulling the contents from where they\u2019d been concealed in his pockets. The glass fell from Martin\u2019s hand as fear clouded his eyes. \u201cTime for the fun to begin.\u201d Then, the killer guest picked up the knife.<\/p>\n<p>Genre Fiction<br \/>\nAuthor Website <a href=\"https:\/\/taylermbrooks.wordpress.com\">https:\/\/taylermbrooks.wordpress.com<\/a><br \/>\nBest place to buy your book<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/tangled-suspects-morgan-brooks\/1143393189?ean=9798369236703\"> https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/tangled-suspects-morgan-brooks\/1143393189?ean=9798369236703<\/a><br \/>\nEmail tayler.m.brooks@gmail.com<br \/>\nTwitter<br \/>\nFacebook<br \/>\nGoodreads <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/taylermarie_brooks\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/taylermarie_brooks<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram<br \/>\nYouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEAN9bdKKiHNGmMbo2OkxNA\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEAN9bdKKiHNGmMbo2OkxNA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murdered in Cold Blood&#8230;.
