Grave Madness: Three Scott Drayco Mysteries

From Derringer Award winner BV Lawson - Three tales featuring Scott Drayco, a man who had everything going for him: handsome, brilliant, a talented classical pianist in the prime of his youth. After violence scarred him physically and emotionally, he turned to an FBI career for ten years and now freelances as a crime consultant, taking on cases other people often don't want to touch. In THE TRADITION THIEF, first published in "Rope and Wire," Drayco teams up with a Native American Sheriff to find the link between stolen artifacts and a suspicious death; in TERROR OF THE MIND BANDIT," a man with dementia thinks the nursing home staff are trying to kill him; and in OUT OF THE CLOUDS, Drayco discovers murder and revenge at 20,000 feet.

Praise for BV's Mysteries in Crimetime:



"Lawson uses the gothic features of the abandoned Opera House to great effect, creating an atmospheric background for the crimes and the solving of them, all of it accompanied with music that's almost like another character. The pace never sagged and it kept me enthralled." - Long and Short Reviews



"Lawson's book was so good, I read it twice from beginning to end...The citizens of Cape Unity are as diverse and multi-layered as any person living in the large cities, and Lawson portrayed them splendidly." - Reader's Favorite Reviews



"The storyline here is nicely structured, and creatively ties together two murder mysteries, which occurred decades apart. The small town setting is ideal, the lead character engaging, and the supporting cast interesting and diverse. Overall, a solid start to this series." - Omnimystery News



"A nice tight mystery in a realistic setting. Totally enjoyable." - Terrie Farley Moran, national bestselling author of the Read 'Em and Eat Mystery Series



"Now this story was close to brilliance...The plot was fast, dark and thrilling." - IHeartReading.net



All in all, an excellent read for lovers of quality mystery fiction." - Jacqueline Seewald, author of The Inferno Collection
