What happens when you begin your life with nothing but pain and claw your way to the top of the pyramid? There's only one way to go.

Odell Moore is one of America's elite commercial lawyers: an African-American success story. Only one thing is missing from his life, until he falls in love and elopes with Dee, the daughter of an Alabama senator.

This is a story of a high-stakes game of survival in a Manhattan's top law firm, where love, friendship and the partnership are torn apart by murder in Odell's penthouse. Was Odell the killer? Or was it one of the lawyers who would do anything to become a partner.

Othello has arrived in twenty first century Manhattan, in the middle of a whodunit.

Twists and turns abound, in the style of Lynwood Barclay, and this murder mystery combines the delicious appeal of Louise Penny and the imagination and elegance of Sir Jeffrey Archer to keep you turning the pages until you find the answer.
