MOTIVE
By Dennis M. Adams
Is a murder solved when the authorities discover who the perpetrator is? And if the suspect turns up dead, is it a closed case? Joe Morgan, a retired Homicide Chief, doesn’t think so. He knows that until the MOTIVE is discovered others may die. To pursue the motive for his grandson’s death he turns to a corps of friends, mostly retired detectives and supervisors, to pick up the investigation and root-out the purpose of the killing.
They call themselves The Coterie, a group of six law enforcement professionals, several retired from the police ranks. But more importantly, they have been friends since their early days on ‘the job’. This is their story; of camaraderie, loyalty, and justice.
MOTIVE is the first book of the Coterie Series which features Joe Morgan. The following series of novels will each give prominence to a different member of The Coterie.
