THE SCOTT DRAYCOE MYSTERY SERIES
Scott Ian Draycoe began his life as a child prodigy after showing a gift for the piano at age three. He wowed the audience with a recital in Carnegie Hall at ten, and soloed with orchestras around the world, including the New York Philharmonic at fifteen to rave reviews. Despite one family tragedy after another and his father’s disapproval of his son’s chosen career, Draycoe persevered, garnering awards, accolades and a CD recording contract by the time he was 20.
That all changed one cold rainy night after a horrific accident left Draycoe with a mangled right hand and forearm. Months of surgeries and physical therapy helped restore most of the functioning, but he could no longer practice the long hours required for a concert pianist’s lifestyle.
After much soul-searching, Draycoe threw himself into a law enforcement career to the delight of his FBI agent father. But eventually Draycoe’s creative mind began to feel suffocated by the structured confines of the Bureau, so he set up his own investigative business. He now consults with high-profile D.C. clients and law enforcement agencies, and still performs the occasional concert on the side.
Brilliant, driven, yet scarred emotionally and physically, he has the reputation of finding solutions to problems others thought unsolvable, with the same bulldogged determination that helped him make it into the FBI’s elite NCAVC unit after only four years at the Bureau.
Scott Draycoe is featured in the short stories “The Devil to Play,” “Hear No Evil,” “Death and Transfiguration,” “Ill-Gotten Games,” “FM is For Murder,” “The Tradition Thief,” “The Fine Art of Betrayal,” and also in the work-in-progress debut novel Elegy for Cape Unity (wt).
