Deborah Jones Crime Thriller

J.B. Turner

When rookie Miami Herald reporter Deborah Jones investigates the case of an elderly Scottish war hero sentenced to death for killing a senator’s son, she discovers a story far more dangerous than a controversial act of revenge. Her pursuit of the truth becomes deeply personal, forcing her to confront the trauma of sexual violence while challenging a justice system shaped by privilege, politics, and corruption. As her investigation exposes ties among powerful officials, organized crime, and hidden conspirators, Deborah becomes a target in a deadly race to uncover the truth before the execution—and before those protecting the secret silence her for good. Set against the volatile streets and political power networks of Miami, this tense crime thriller explores vigilante justice, institutional corruption, and the courage required to stand against those who believe they are untouchable.
