Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity - “In Like Embezzlement!”

Written by Brandon L. Joyner 

Synopsis:

Step back into the smoky streets and sharp-tongued banter of Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, where Detective Jack Finger—once Hoover’s golden boy, now a disgraced beat cop—finds himself thrown into a case that’s bigger than anything he’s handled in years. When whispers of corruption swirl around a high-profile city councilman, Finger is pulled into a web of politicians, power brokers, and dangerous rivals who each have plenty to gain—and even more to hide. Alongside sharp-witted attorney Mia Caldwell, Jack must cut through lies, charm, and threats to uncover the truth. With every clue, the stakes climb higher, and the line between loyalty and betrayal grows razor-thin.

Will Jack Finger’s stubborn instincts and unconventional style be enough to crack the case—or is he walking straight into a trap set by those who play the game far better than he does?
