The Folly of Murder — J.B. Davis

Randy Brathwaite always considered that running a successful congressional campaign against the son of legenday Jim Mayfield to be a long shot. Being accused of his wife's murder months before the election just might make it darn near impossible. PI, Gerry Freeman, is hired by Brathwaite's law firm to see to it that the attorney won't be indicted. In her attempt to clear the candidate of the crime, Gerry unexpectedly unearths a conspiracy involving many of the city's most distinguished citizens, and The Folly of Murder takes on a whole new significance.
