The Man Who Asked to Be Killed

What if you learn someone you care about is implicated in murder? What do you do? Young lawyer Buddy Smith, cousin of Maryland's governor, does four things he never thought he would. He withholds evidence. He confesses love for the governor's wife. Cheats on his fiancée. And resolves to no longer care what happened to his brother, missing for nine years. While Buddy confronts his own dark side, he also unwittingly becomes the killer's next target-until they meet on a rainy beach with a result as surprising as inevitable.
Set in Annapolis, Maryland's waterfront capital.
