BOARDROOM ASSASSIN
BOARDROOM ASSASSIN
Released June, 2025
Released June, 2025
Rick Frown is a charismatic CEO with an All-American past and a chilling appetite for control. What begins as a commentary on power, performance, and ego spirals into a tautly constructed cat-and-mouse narrative, told with precision and a clinical eye for detail.
Frown is a fascinating creation: a man whose discipline and strategic genius, honed on the football field and in boardrooms, find new life in the planning and execution of a perfect murder. His transition from executive to killer is handled with unnerving confidence. Rick orchestrates every detail, manipulates evidence, exploits people, and thrives on power. He doesn’t just want to win; he needs to dominate
The first half of the novel is nearly surgical in its detail, chronicling Rick’s obsessive planning with unsettling realism. The pacing is deliberate, mirroring Rick’s own cold methodical nature. We watch as Rick struggles with his own inner demons, struggling with his internal need for something new and exciting against the risk of losing the perfect life. The reader is made complicit as Rick makes this transition, having walked each step of preparation from boardroom to assassin.
The second half shifts perspectives, following a team of detectives led by Lena Banks as they piece together the trail Rick believes he’s erased. Lena is compelling in her own right: sharp, steady, and tireless. The procedural elements are thoroughly researched and grounded, lending the investigation a sobering weight. The detectives aren’t caricatures of brilliance, they make mistakes, chase bad leads, and grind through bureaucracy, all of which makes the eventual convergence more satisfying.
