When the police discover a federal bank examiner dead on a deserted city street on Christmas Eve 1983, there’s no evidence, no leads, and no suspects. Street-smart lawyer Connor J. Devlin, now a decade-plus into his outside-the-lines career, reluctantly takes up the case. We follow the trials and tribulations of uncovering the truth.”

Napoleon deftly partnered with a premier attorney whose career has spanned 6 decades of cases and who the main character and cases are loosely based on.
Set in politically diverse Arizona, this clever latest installment is filled with mystery and intrigue. To find answers, Devlin enlists the scary-smart and tenacious Sloane Monae, a former college volleyball player, and an ex-cop turned private detective. As the new duo start pulling the threads of the case, they find themselves equally intrigued with each other. They also unwittingly stumble into the savings-and-loan debacle of the 1980s, one of the biggest financial scams in American history. And those running the far-reaching fraud will stop at nothing to protect their ill-gotten gains. The Dark Action is available on Amazon.
