Macmurphy

By: David Samuel Sherman

What's the book about?

Six stories featuring homicide detective Inspector Macmurphy. Akin to the format of Columbo, the reader knows the identity of the killer in each murder-case-featuring story and Macmurphy goes about sifting through potential clues, trying to solve the crime and bring the killer to justice.

Inspector Macmurphy is a police detective who works diligently to sift through the nuances of a case, figure out the ones truly guilty using the smallest of clues, and ensure that no one gets away with anything. However, many cases that end up on Inspector Macmurphy’s desk are not as straightforward as they seem. The question is, can he find the criminal?

Join Inspector Macmurphy on his thrilling adventures as he deploys his award-worthy brilliance to make sure that justice is served… always.
