Produktbeschreibung
Casey Evans is the pride of Jasper, but an injury ends his baseball career abruptly. His girlfriend, Jenna Leigh Meyers, accepts a ride from Parker Sinclair, a teammate of Casey and the son of one of the most powerful men in the city and heir to the Sinclair fortune. But when she refuses Parker's move on her, it leads to a chase that ends up in a thorny ditch where Parker kills her. A scapegoat is quickly found in Marcos "Pud" Diaz who stumbles upon the scene and tries to help. Casey doesn't believe that Pud murdered his girlfriend and will do everything to clear his name -- but does he have what it takes to stand up against a corrupt judge, an unscrupulous sheriff and a powerful family? The Jasper Creed by William Jarvis is an engrossing tale of murder, stabbings-in-the-back, power abuse, and cover-ups. Set in the small town of Jasper, Tennessee, with the backdrop of the Sinclair Candy factory, the Jasper Free-Will Baptist Church, and high school baseball, readers are introduced to a cast of compelling characters. The tale has sophisticated layers of intrigue, with scheming characters, skeletons in the closets, and blackmail. Casey is a well imagined protagonist, a hero who is torn between his quest for justice and the admiration of the town.
