Blue Ridge - Elliott Peter Malone

**Nominated for the BEST DEBUT MYSTERY category at the 2025 Lefty Awards**

What would you do if you were planning to kill your brother-but someone beat you to it? 

After former Olympic contender turned burn-out horse trainer Cillian Clarke is framed for the murder of his identical twin Christopher, a rising-star Virginia politician, Cillian is forced to go on the lam. But when someone from Christopher's past emerges and offers Cillian the chance to clear his name, Cillian is plunged headfirst into a sinister conspiracy that not only threatens the sanctity of democracy, but also promises to expose the devastating secret intertwining the brothers forever-the truth behind the death of a woman they both loved.
