Death Con Seduction Hammer & Sharpe Noir Mystery Thrillers, Book 4 When Marlon Newberry leaves a party asking the wrong question, he's gunned down on a Brooklyn sidewalk. No robbery. No warning. Just two bullets and a mystery. Detectives Abe Gold and Barbara Cortez catch the case, but it's private investigator Sam Sharpe who's hired by Marlon's widow to dig deeper. The trail leads Sharpe into a labyrinth of grifters and hustlers—con artists running elaborate scams with fake antiques, phony fortune tellers, and high-end real estate frauds. At the center of it all stands Angie Evison, a femme fatale whose beauty is matched only by her ruthlessness. Her crew doesn't just cheat the rich—they bury those who can't be trusted. Meanwhile, Judah Hammer's empire collides with Angie's rising syndicate. Lou Fedorov, one of Judah's most trusted soldiers, finds himself torn between loyalty to his boss and obsession with Angie, the very woman who may have ordered Marlon's murder. As Sharpe closes in on the truth, he discovers his own past has put him in the crosshairs of a relentless enemy out for revenge. Fraud, betrayal, murder, and seduction—nothing is what it seems in a city where loyalty is bought, and lives are sold. Will Sharpe expose the killer before he becomes the next victim? Or will Angie's deadly game consume them all?
