Death Con Seduction

When Marlon Newberry is gunned down outside a the apartment house where he has attended a party, the case reeks of something more sinister than a street hit. Detectives Abe Gold and Barbara Cortez follow the trail, but it’s private investigator Sam Sharpe who’s hired to uncover the truth. What Sharpe finds is a shadow world of cons and corruption—fake antiques sold for fortunes, fortune-tellers bleeding the wealthy dry, and real estate scams designed to ruin lives. At the center is Angie Evison, a breathtaking femme fatale whose beauty hides a ruthless mind. Her crew doesn’t just cheat marks—they silence them. Meanwhile, Judah Hammer’s criminal empire is threatened from within. Lou Fedorov, one of his most trusted men, has fallen under Angie’s spell—caught between loyalty to his boss and obsession with the woman who may have ordered Marlon’s death. As Sharpe digs deeper, his own dark past resurfaces, putting a target on his back. The cons are deadly, the betrayals cut deep, and in this game, losing means more than money—it means your life. Perfect for fans of gritty noir and hard-edged crime thrillers.
