“The Brady Program” A small university is sponsoring a training conference on improving the curriculum of nursing schools. During the concluding plenary session, a homeless man enters the auditorium and walks unnoticed down a side isle towards the stage. Suddenly, he stops, opens his trench coat and brings out a semiautomatic rifle. He points it at the women on the stage and tries to fire. The weapon initially jams, but then a few rounds go off. The man looks bewildered and, perhaps frightened by the screams he’d created, drops the rifle and runs back to the door he’d entered. As he nears the entrance, a security guard appears and shoots the homeless man, who dies instantly. The security guard calms the conference attendees down and then calls 911. A short time later, police and emergency vehicles arrive and rope off the crime scene. The security guard, considered a hero by those who witnessed the horror and the TV media, is interviewed by the police, who take his identification information and released him, pending a follow-up interview. Then the body of nursing student is found. The woman appeared to have died earlier and had been strangled. The police now have two separate murders. When the police try re-interview the security guard the following day, they find he has quit his job and appears to have vanished. Despite their best efforts, the police have no firm leads on either murder. Upset by this, two men, brothers of the murdered woman, resolve to find out who killed their sisters on their own. The separate investigations take the reader to a delightful set of characters at a mental hospital, cops both dirty and clean, gun lobbyists and other murders, with bits of romance, too. The Brady Program completes the author’s trilogy of crime novels set in Philadelphia. “The Brady Program”
