RUBY RED FLAWS
Level Best Books will publish Joe Golemo‘s second book, RED RUBY FLAWS, in March 2025.
Here is a synopsis of the book.
Grayson Dyle, the owner of a fledgling product design firm, and his brother, Dean, a technology automation guru, have developed an uneasy truce with their newly discovered birth father, Catholic Bishop Thomas Brennen.
The Bishop asks Grayson and his girlfriend, Kate Larson, to surreptitiously look into a rogue priest who is holding unauthorized services at Ruby Ray’s Supper Club and may be turning this group into his personal cult. Just as Grayson and Kate start to investigate, one of the Supper Club entertainers, known as the Swing Girl, is discovered bound to her swing, dead. A few minutes later, they discover that Ray’s namesake, the infamous Poona Ruby, the largest ruby ever found in Australia, was stolen at the same time as the murder.
Grayson enlists Dean’s help, and the three soon uncover multiple double crosses and numerous suspects, including Ray’s son Eric, who is being sought by a Las Vega mob boss, Chadrick Benham, a washed-up motivational speaker, and Marcel, the rouge priest himself. After Marcel and another entertainer are brutally murdered, Grayson realizes they must find the killer before one of them becomes the next victim.

Here is a synopsis of the book.
At his father’s funeral, Grayson Dyle, the owner of a fledgling product design firm, observes his mother hiding an envelope in the casket. He retrieves the letter, revealing that he and his brother Dean, a home automation guru, were adopted. Eager to learn more, he submits a DNA sample online and connects with a prominent attorney who claims to be their father and who tells the brothers their birth mother died as she was giving Grayson life.
When the attorney is brutally murdered, Grayson has little time to mourn the loss of two fathers because he quickly becomes a prime suspect and the killer’s next target. The brothers investigate and soon discover their mother died suspiciously as well. Their search for justice leads them to a local Catholic Bishop, whose stonewalling and lies are designed to protect the Church and keep family secrets hidden.
As Grayson struggles to save his business from collapse, he must overcome his internal conflicts about being adopted, prevent his brother from going off the rails, and find the design flaws in the murderer’s plans before he or Dean becomes the next victim.
