Produktbeschreibung

Football and the Flag

It's Texas in the 1980s. Football is king.

A gifted Black high school quarterback says he won't play varsity football because they carry the Confederate flag.

The town's reaction stuns Katy Williams, news editor at the local newspaper. And that of her staff as well. It ranges from indifference to the flag to outrage that anyone would challenge it at all. When five of the starting line follow Clay Peabody off the team, the situation turns explosive. And then, the police find a body hanging from the goal posts at South Plains City High School.

It's one of the players, and a note says, one down and six to go.... The sixth? Katy's newest reporter, Abe Law.

Book 2 in A Newspaper in Texas, a historical mystery series set in the 1980s.

Autorenporträt

L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.

"I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me."

L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for an oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead a field that liked people who asked questions!

As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, Washington, D. C. Then she got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.

She is an over-educated, bleeding heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency.

You can follow her on Twitter @ljbreedlove for her political stuff, or on Facebook ljbreedlove for her writing life. Best place to find her -- besides a local coffee shop -- is at ljbreedlove.com.
