You can get mad.
Or you can get even.
Atlanta investigative journalist J.D. Bragg returns to the little corner of upstate South Carolina where he grew up, hoping for a pleasant weekend break. What he finds is anything but pleasant. He discovers the editor of the local newspaper savagely beaten and lying unconscious on her kitchen floor. He calls in the police, but with no suspects and no motive, their investigation goes nowhere. J.D. can't sit idly by. To the cops, solving the crime might be just a job. But to J.D., it's personal. The editor is the woman he loves.
J.D. Bragg is a man who never met a wrong he didn't want to right. For fans of C.J. Box's Joe Pickett, John Sanford's Virgil Flowers and Greg Isles' Penn Cage, a J.D. Bragg mystery is the perfect read.
