Thomas Kaine: A Deed Most Deadly

The Noir Series, Book 1

By: Chad Martin

Narrated by: Andrew Cortes

A Deed Most Deadly is a gritty noir mystery drenched in shadow, smoke, and betrayal.

When the death of a reclusive real estate mogul is ruled a heart attack, private investigator Thomas Kaine smells something fouler than the Dunsmore sewers. The man had secrets—powerful ones. And a deed. A single forgotten property deed that could unravel a decades-old web of corruption.

As Kaine digs deeper, he finds himself entangled with city officials, land sharks, and a woman in black who plays both sides of the moral line. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous it gets. The ledgers don’t just expose the guilty—they tempt the desperate.

Set in a crumbling city where justice is an antique and every alleyway hides a lie, A Deed Most Deadly is a relentless noir thriller where nothing is clean, and no one is innocent.

Trust no one. Follow the paper. And whatever you do—don’t lose the deed.
