Death on the Brandywine

When U.S. Senator Daniel Riley is found dead at his family’s grand estate, a gunshot wound to the temple — his death ruled a suicide, his daughter Jackie knows something is wrong. She enlists her partner, forensic psychologist Professor Millie Park, to find out what really happened. Their investigation puts them squarely in the crosshairs of a powerful family with plenty to hide. Daniel’s ambitious son Sean is running for office. His other son Ry is entangled in a murky crypto corruption scandal. Political operative Vernon Reynolds has leverage over everyone. And the Chief of Police seems far more interested in closing the case than solving it. As Jackie and Millie dig deeper, following clues from Daniel’s office, piecing together a timeline of visitors, and navigating threats from every direction, it becomes clear that the Senator’s death sits at the center of a web of rivalries, betrayals, and long-buried secrets. Getting to the truth means trusting the wrong people, surviving real danger, and confronting a family that has always chosen its reputation over everything else.
