THE EXTORTION

One video. Sixty-five million dollars. A predator who never loses.

Crawford has read defenses his whole life. Backup quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Las Vegas homicide detective. Now he’s a PI with $1,800 in his bank account and $4,200 in bills due in ten days.

When attorney Marcus Fein offers him a retainer for an urgent client, Crawford takes the case. The client is Darius Keane, the Raiders’ new star receiver, fresh off a $120 million contract extension and currently being blackmailed. Someone has a video of him in a VIP booth at XS Nightclub. Cocaine. Beautiful women. Eight months into his fiancée’s pregnancy.

Crawford follows the trail to a professional extortion operation six years in the making. Eleven victims. One point two million dollars. A perfect record. The woman behind it has never lost, and she’s not planning to start.

In a city designed for the house to win, Crawford has little time to change the conditions.

The Extortion is the first book in the Crawford PI Novel series. It will be released in late April.
