The Long Game

Somebody framed Nick Drexler for a murder he did not commit. Nick is an honest businessman but he comes from a family of notorious criminals. After serving over two years on death row, an appellate court throws out his conviction. Now on the outside of prison walls, Nick begins a search for the shadowy figures behind the murder and frame. Along the way he discovers a conspiracy bigger than he had anticipated, learns many new disturbing facts about his family's shady past, and finds romance where he least expected it.

Gray McCoy's previous book, The One-Horse Lawman, was an offbeat western published in 2009. Stories about the Old Wild West were just one of his interests. From an early age, he has also enjoyed a good mystery story, whether it is one of fact or fiction. In his novel, The Long Game, the author's intent was to fashion a murder mystery different from any he knew about in the genre. He thinks his novel accomplished this objective.
