WHERE THE BOYS ARE
Love-cursed journalist, Quinn Harris, has a terrible talent for being at the wrong place at the right time. When a chance reunion brings him face to face with a flame from his past the sparks quickly turn to ice as evidence of foul play arises. He soon learns that it’s no coincidence his high school crush disappeared years ago, without a trace. It’s also no coincidence that his victims look exactly like Quinn…
The body count and the stakes are high as Quinn works to unravel the truth behind a string of unanswered murders that hit dangerously close to home.
Murder, martinis, and mayhem rule in this stylish thriller from Christopher Murphy.

the other side of the mirror
For Jace Lannister, it’s not always easy being black and gay in the weird world of Portland. It doesn’t help that he’s the son of the Brooklyn Butcher, the notorious serial killer who claimed nineteen lives in the early ‘90s before escaping justice. With buried secrets and a new identity, Jace has created a new life for himself far from his blood-stained roots. But all is shattered when a gruesome murder surfaces echoing the past, fueled by his father’s dark legacy. Has the Brooklyn Butcher returned? Is history destined to repeat itself in the image of his son? Or is something far more sinister emerging from the other side of the mirror?
Available on kindle, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.

the DARK side of the mirror
The sequel to The Other Side of the Mirror is here!
Jace Lannister is hungry for normalcy with his partner in their storied corner of New York. But being Black, gay, and the son of a serial killer – the Brooklyn Butcher – isn’t exactly the recipe for a regular life.
Still, Jace is ready to rebuild a life outside the walls of his father’s legacy, a murder room that housed 19 victims before his father killed himself in prison. A room that’s sealed off beneath the floorboards of the reopened deli Jace wants to make his own.
When the courthouse steps are littered with human remains, wrapped in undeniably familiar butcher paper, it ignites his father’s diehard fan base … and the theory he is still somehow alive.
Are the theories true? Had his father faked his death after all? Or is Jace unknowingly looking at the killer each time he looks in the mirror?
Another Standout Thriller From Christopher Murphy!
"Phenomenal! This read is an uncontested highlight of the year. Murphy has a knack for making you care about his characters, along with putting them in intense situations that make his books impossible to put down. This crackling extension to The Other Side of the Mirror is further proof that Murphy is shaping up to be an author you do not want to miss."
