Memorable characters, a stunningly evocative setting, and a whirlwind of unexpected twists—Blue Ridge will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Here’s a sneak peek:

When the homes of three prominent Black members of Congress are bombed in a Capitol Hill neighborhood, Lisa Owens finds herself thrust into the most challenging case of her career. With a mistrust of other officers and a preference for working alone, Lisa has recently joined the FBI, where she’s part of an elite investigative team led by her mentor, Bernie Washington. But with the nation’s eyes on the case, Lisa feels overwhelmed and unprepared. Recognizing the bombings as a hate crime, Bernie urges Lisa to stay on the case. But in a city as politically divided as Washington, the FBI is in turmoil. To push forward, Lisa reaches out to Bruce Kim, an old friend in the Miami PD crime lab. Soon, a suspect is identified, and Lisa and the team head into the mountains to unravel a mystery that began long ago on a day that’s never been forgotten—one that left a permanent stain on the Blue Ridge.
