Indian Summer: A Tale of Lust, Murder and Class Division (Earl Town Book 1)

Earl Town’s got problems: a lump on the head, a missing body, two angry FBI agents, and a client he can’t take his eyes off. He’s also out of his element. He’s just an ex-cop from a small New Hampshire town turned private eye, who finds himself looking for a murderer among America’s modern-day aristocracy in Greenwich, Westchester, and the Upper East Side. Earl doesn’t much like these people, their lifestyles, or their attitudes, and they don’t like Earl. Along the way, they’ll underestimate him, mock him, seduce him, and even try to kill him. It’s up to the “wily sleuth protagonist” – Kirkus Reviews, to outsmart them and bring a cold-blooded killer to justice.

"Indian Summer is very well written, full of witty dialogue that kept me reading late into the night. Readers who like Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe will enjoy this series. It is a great first novel, and I highly recommend it." -- Readers' Favorite

"It is far more mature and carefully-crafted than one ever expects in a debut novel. The characters are engaging, and the protagonist is exceptional. Mr. Brown: we want more." -- Amazon Top 500 Reviewer & Vine Voice
