Suburban homemaker Allison Embry believes she has gotten away with killing her young boyfriend... until she gets a call from his drug supplier with a proposition that threatens to destroy her family and the comfortable life she has built. Atlanta Police Lieutenant Paxton Davis, nearing retirement, must find the Midtown Murderer before he strikes again. For Davis, this case is all too reminiscent of the 1979-1980 child murders that marked the beginning of his career. Widowed newspaper writer Tom Williams plans to pursue his lifelong dream, to travel the US and chronicle his experiences. Then Tom receives word that an unknown assailant has killed a third lawyer nearby. As he ponders what else can go wrong, his daughter, a criminal defense attorney, calls to say she's leaving her husband and moving home with her two sons. For Parker, storytelling is all about the characters. Here we meet an assortment of eccentric people, from the affluent to the destitute, the good, the bad, the unforgettable. Pronounced Ponce, Book Three in The Tom Williams Saga, takes us on a high-speed chase through some of Atlanta's most colorful neighborhoods.

Autorenporträt
A writer, lecturer and consultant, Ray Dan Parker lives in suburban Atlanta with his wife of more than forty years. When not writing, he spends his time working outdoors, teaching and serving in his community. As a student at the University of Georgia, Mr. Parker studied literature and history and wrote for several campus publications. It was there he developed his love of writing.Mr. Parker's first novel, Unfinished Business, is the story of Tom Williams, a young newspaper writer who returns to his hometown in 1968 to investigate the deaths of his parents and the lynching of a friend for a murder he didn't commit. Fly Away finds Tom and his wife Colleen, years later, living in Midtown Atlanta. On a chance invitation to an outdoor concert they meet Dina Savage, a young woman who has escaped a childhood of abuse and neglect and parlayed her God-given talents into a new life and a successful career, only to have her violent past catch up to her. Tom, now retired and writing freelance, follows Dina's background from a courtroom in Marietta, Georgia to her hometown of Clewiston, Mississippi, where he uncovers a twenty-year old unsolved murder. Mr. Parker's latest work, Pronounced Ponce, continues the series, with Tom helping Atlanta police investigate a series of murders all too reminiscent of serial killings from 1979 and 1980. The cast of characters includes a Peachtree City housewife whose bad choices have forced her into the service of a dangerous drug lord, a corrupt former narcotics officer, a neighborhood vigilante, and a middle-aged writer with no apparent past.
