Cold Broker

An Ernie Creekmore Mystery

By: T.R. Kelly

Narrated by: A.W. Miller

Who killed Tim Whalen? And why? Was it because he was a "helicopter parent" who micromanaged his short-tempered basketball star son? Perhaps he was murdered because he got on the wrong side of the shadow network of hangers-on brokering big-money deals to deliver young stars.

Ernie Creekmore, a real estate agent looking to ease back into coaching, is asked to assist when the investigation turns cold.

Ernie's plate is full. He's scouting hoop prospects while attempting to cultivate sales prospects at work - and keep his irascible boss off his back. And then there's hot-to-trot Jesse McQuade, who's trying to maneuver Ernie into a commitment faster than you can say "find the open man!"

The more Ernie pokes around North Fork, the more he's disturbed by the new dark side of high school sports. And how fast the money runs. And how far someone might go to protect secrets.

T.R. Kelly, who introduced Ernie Creekmore in Cold Crossover, is back with another engrossing tale of hoops, home sales, and homicide.
