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.


Early reviews for Design Flaws have been great!

“I love how tightly wound this mystery is as two brothers keep circling around a knotted past.  A great read with new author Golemo totally nailing the ending.”

Mary Logue, author of THE BIG SUGAR

“This was great fun to read. Breezy and smart and funny and compelling. You’ve given us a likable hero, two brothers, a dead mother with a secret, and the promise of more mystery to come. Very entertaining and engaging, and we want to keep on reading. Which is the whole point, to keep the reader reading. Well done!”

Paula Munier, USA TODAY bestselling author of the Mercy Carr Mysteries
