Red Means Run
by Brad Smith and B. J. Smith
When superstar lawyer Mickey Dupree gets a legendary record producer off a murder charge, the victim’s husband, Virgil Cain, is overheard telling a crowded bar that ‘someone ought to blow Mickey’s head off’.
So when Mickey turns up dead on a golf course, Virgil naturally finds himself prime suspect. After being thrown into jail by dim-witted detective Joe Brady, he realises the police have no interest in actually solving the case. In a desperate situation and with only detective Claire Marchand on his side, Virgil realises he must prove his innocence by finding the killer himself – before the killer finds him.
Red Means Run is the first in the thrilling Virgil Cain Mystery series.
