After landing on Runway XX; I turned onto Taxiway 1 to join Taxiway 2 to the gate. While on Taxiway 1 I depressed the brake pedals to slow down further but the right brake pedal did not depress. I realized that I had no braking authority and elected to shut down both engines as I thought I would roll off into the grass at the intersection. shutting down the engines and using the left brakes allowed me to avoid hitting any airport signage and allowed me to keep the plane on the taxiway. I requested a tow from the airport manager once I determined we were below the max tow weight. There have been multiple writeups for this aircraft over the past couple days that involved the right brakes. This makes me suspicious that the issue causing this is not being caught somehow.
Air taxi pilot reported that the brakes malfunctioned during taxi. Reporter stated they had no braking authority and shut down both engines to avoid a taxiway excursion.
