BUT HE WAS SUCH A GREAT GUY……. Federal Judge T. Franklin “Teddy” Braxton was beloved by his family and admired by his peers. His immense wealth had put him at the pinnacle of New York City’s elite political and social worlds. So who murdered him in cold blood? Perhaps it was the nearly naked young woman found standing over his body with a .45 caliber pistol in her hand. Or perhaps not…. Detective Lieutenant Walter Hudson is in over his head, and he knows it, as he immediately begins to receive intense pressure to solve the case from both Mayor Deborah Kaplan and Police Commissioner Sean Donahue, both personal friends of the Judge. And he may be getting in over his head personally as well, as the judge’s beautiful daughter, Virginia, starts giving him more help than he’s looking for. He’ll need all the help he can get from Leviticus Welles, now a rising star in the NYPD’s Intelligence Division, to guide him through the maze of Teddy Braxton’s life as well as the tangle of his own emotions. But one thing Walter knows from the start is that there’s nothing placid at all about Placid Hollow.

I started writing my first book, "A Deadly Light" ten years ago, and I've never looked back. I recently published my eighth book, "The Natural Blonde." Before I began writing, I had a long career in corporate finance, as well as my ongoing career as the father to my three kids, no matter how grown-up they get. My first and only marriage began when I was 22, continues to be a day-to-day adventure. I spent my life traveling the world, and my family and I have lived overseas for a total of eight years, but now I'm content to stay home, write, and take care of my cat.

A must read...murder, lust, power brokers and NYC!

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020

Absolutely riveting! This is the second book of Mr. Ayers I have read, both have grabbed me by the hand (actually the throat) and involved me in a wonderfully complex detective novel! And being a born New Yorker (transplanted south), I not only revisit places I've been, but hang out with wonderful characters during my visit! This book, is well written, the characters people easily identified with and endings only Detective Hudson can deduce and clarify for you...

Got a free Kindle Charles Ayers and enjoyed it so much that I immediately bought the other two books he has written in the Walter Hudson series. Great characterisation, strong plots and well-paced.

Nice read. Liked getting to know the characters! More, please!

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2016

I don't usually give books five stars, but since this a new author and a new series, I think it deserved the highest rating. Well written, well edited, and a very well thought out storyline that kept me guessing. Hoping there's another one soon.
