Action & Adventure and Literature & Fiction

In this gritty and suspenseful family drama from celebrated storyteller Keith Lee Johnson, three brothers find their professional and romantic lives veering out of control and heading toward a shattering conclusion.

Brothers Jericho, Sterling, and William Wise may be bonded by blood but otherwise life has dealt them very different hands. Jericho is a drug and munitions dealer, the leader of an elite group of former military personnel.

Sterling is an attorney who finds himself fired from his prestigious San Francisco law firm on the same day he’s expecting a verdict on a nationally televised case that was supposed to make his career.

And William, a widowed psychologist and the youngest Wise brother, has spent the past five years alone but is finally imagining what it might be like to love again. Only trouble is, Terry Moretti, the woman he’s dating, is white, and she can’t seem to understand the societal and familial taboos that keep William from getting too closely involved.

Jericho has a whole other dilemma to deal with — one that could see him ending up in jail for a very long time. Meanwhile, Sterling’s luck seems to turn around when he meets a mysterious woman who offers him the world — but is he willing to pay her price?

Keith Lee Johnson’s twisting, riveting plot and crackling dialogue will captivate from page one. In the Wise brothers, he gives readers a trio of extraordinary protagonists whose choices lead them inexorably toward a stunning and unforgettable climax.In this gritty and suspenseful family drama from celebrated storyteller Keith Lee Johnson, three brothers find their professional and romantic lives veering out of control and heading toward a shattering conclusion.

Keith Lee Johnson

Keith Lee Johnson is a United States Air Force veteran, the author of 14 novels, and the former editor of Insight Magazine. He served his country in Texas, Mississippi, Nevada, California, Turkey, and various other places in his four years of active service. He has written in several genres including, suspense/thrillers, drama, historical fiction, and contemporary fiction. His most successful novels are the Little Black Girl Lost stories, seven to date. The journey to publication was an arduous one and began at Robert S. Rogers High School during the Fall semester when his Composition teacher ridiculed him in front of his peers for a poorly written paper. Humiliated, he dropped the class, and no longer pursued education. Two decades later, he entered Owens Community College as it was more cost effective. Upon graduation, he planned to attend a fully accredited local university to get a degree in psychology as he never intended to be an author. That, too, was interrupted by a literature professor who challenged his ability to write a credible story early in the Fall semester. Unlike his high school experience, he accepted the challenge, picked up a pen that very day, and has been writing ever since. His failed past turned into fierce determination. He worked fulltime and was a fulltime student. He went on to graduate with honors and became the commencement speaker for the December graduating class. He lives in Toledo, Ohio.
