    In the heart of Iran, a dark family secret has been passed from father to son, mother to daughter, generation to generation – a line unbroken by time. And Dr. Shahzad Yavari, the professor of geopolitics at Tehran University, is destined to become the next recipient of this legacy. 
    After the sudden death of his father, Dr. Yavari learns of the most closely-guarded secret of his family: an astonishing lineage the stretches back more than three thousand years, and the inheritance of not only a kingdom lost, but a kingdom stolen from them. With this revelation, an ancient vendetta is reawakened and Yavari quickly begins rising to power in the Islamic Republic of Iran. 
    Thirteen years after Dr. Yavari becomes a top adviser in the regime, Iran has completed its quest to become the second nuclear power in the Middle East, though not without tremendous cost. Rumors of espionage and infiltrators abound throughout the program, and no one is above suspicion. As Iran begins to capitalize on their newly-acquired nuclear status, Israel grapples with the realization that America may not assist them in preventing a nuclear Holocaust. 
    Deep inside the Quds Uranium Enrichment Facility near Qom, the scientists and technicians are under constant surveillance by the ever-watchful eye of the Iranian Republican Guard as the newest, fastest centrifuges are brought online. Within months, Iran’s nuclear program at Quds will be producing several warheads per year. 
    To counter the growing threat of a nuclearized Iran, a team of Israeli agents has been dispatched to Qom with the sole objective of stopping the enrichment program at Quds by any means necessary.

    “Brooklyn Motto is Raymond Chandler by way of Lou Reed: street-smart, razor-sharp,  humming with menace. Johnson doesn’t just capture the city on edge; he drags you down its avenues, one gut-punch line at a time.” —Alex Abramovich, author of Bullies: A Friendship 
    “A stylish, propulsive mystery that beautifully captures late 90s New York City in the convulsions of enormous social and economic change. Alex R. Johnson combines novelistic texture with cinematic pace to great effect, and narrator Nico Kelly is the perfect guide to this world full of danger, corruption, and also hope.”  —Sam Lipsyte, author of No One Left to Come Looking for You 
    “A top-shelf cocktail infused with the ghostly flavors of a vanishing New York. One part Raymond Chandler, one part Pavement, and one part Blow-Out... the tastiest 90's neo-noir this side of 14th Street.” —Rahne Alexander, author of Heretic to Housewife 
    Fans of Richard Price, Charlie Huston, Jonathan Lethem and Elmore Leonard will love this coming-of-age New York-centric detective noir debut from esteemed filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R. Johnson.  
    New York City, 1998. New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming.  
    A private investigator and self-proclaimed photographer, Nico is stuck in a loop of city contracts and self loathing. What little middle class there was is disappearing-long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighborhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani's police force has the streets in a stranglehold. Nico spends his days investigating fraud and his nights trying to get rid of the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch.  
    When he witnesses and records a murder during one of his investigations, bodies start to turn up all around him and he's forced into solving a mystery he didn't ask to solve. Humorous, gritty, and real, Nico's search for what it means to be human takes him through the deepest and darkest parts of New York City.

    Thanksgiving season brings murder most fowl to Bar Harbor, Maine, as food writer and restaurateur Hayley Powell investigates a farmer felled at a turkey shoot . . .  
     
     
     
    The relationships between bad-tempered Tom Farley and his neighbors are as bitter as a bowl of raw cranberries, but would one of them have taken it far enough to replace birdshot with a real bullet and make him a target at a shooting competition? That's what the injured turkey farmer is claiming from his hospital bed—in between terrorizing the nurses—and he insists it's because a property developer is looking to buy them all out for big money. But Tom says he was born on that land, and he intends to die on it. Sadly, that happens sooner than he expects. 
     
     
     
    Now an inquisitive Hayley has a cornucopia of suspects to consider, from an agoraphobic therapist to an ex-Army sniper, while also preparing for Thanksgiving. But with the strange twists and dark secrets still to be revealed, this case will not be as easy as pie . . .
