David S. Brody drew on his years as a Boston real estate attorney for this trilogy. The first book, Unlawful Deeds (1999), follows former art thief Bruce Arrujo, now working at a top Boston law firm, who spots an opportunity to skim millions during a real estate market crash. Things escalate when a $100 million museum heist and a murder in Back Bay pull him into a much larger mess.
Blood of the Tribe shifts the focus to Cape Cod, where the discovery of an ancient Native American grave opens the door for the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe to claim $2 billion in real estate. A con artist’s murder complicates the legal battle, and both sides are forced into a high-stakes confrontation that cannot end until the killing is solved. The series wrapped with The Wrong Abraham in 2006, completing a trilogy that established Brody’s ability to mix legal procedure with page-turning suspense.
