A Murder Among Friends

By Christopher Hunter

Jason Andrews, James Ellis, and Joaquin Rodriguez are childhood friends who are as close as brothers despite their various background and unique personalities. The three friends return to their hometown of Livingston, North Carolina, after graduating from college. James and Joaquin graduating from college to receive their graduate degrees. Their friend Jason is working as an accountant and engaged to his college sweetheart, Amanda Evans. He is overjoyed to be sharing his life with such a wonderful person. However, his joy is short-lived when Amanda is murdered in her apartment.

The new sheriff, Jeffrey Murphy, is determined to prove Jason's guilt since he has no alibi and the murder screams of a crime of passion. However, his friends work to prove innocence and to track the real killer. Their amateurish exploits raise the sheriff's hackles, find answers to a cold case committed decades ago in another state, and put themselves in the killer's crosshairs. Can these grad students prove their friend is innocent and not put themselves in grave danger?

Christopher Hunter

I don't know where to begin my life's story in this bio section. All I can say is that I love reading mysteries, watching mystery shows, and writing murder mysteries in my spare time. It's my gift, my passion to create a novel where in 20+ chapters a murder is committed and the main characters wrong to find the killer when the police have arrested the wrong suspect despite the wealth of evidence, no alibi, and a strong motive I wanted to share this creative mind where I explore the darker side of human nature. I love books and wanted to create ones I would love to read and share with others. I am just a sweet, Southern boy whom is crossed will eliminate you...on paper not the real world.
