LETHAL LAMENT
(Scott Drayco Series #9)

A missing book. A murdered scholar. A secret that could rewrite history.

In the heart of Washington, D.C., crime consultant Scott Drayco is no stranger to solving dark and complex cases. But he's thrust into a puzzling web of intrigue following the murder of a renowned archivist and the disappearance of a recently uncovered Beethoven biography that vanished—seemingly from a locked room. The book, which threatens to upset Drayco's world view and rewrite music history, has summoned the attention of a secret society and personal ghosts from Drayco's own background.

As Drayco races against time, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of D.C.'s power corridors, where every ally could be an enemy and every revelation brings him closer to peril. But as the killer begins to taunt Drayco and the stakes grow higher than ever, Drayco must find the book to save the archives and Beethoven's reputation before the killer finds a way to silence him forever.
