MYSTERY
JACK TUESDAY
“The rapid pacing, a cast of vividly-portrayed characters and numerous elements of surprise make this story difficult to set aside.”
— Blueink Reviews, Starred
1972. The raid on the Rebels chop-shop went south.
DC Jack Tuesday's partner and best friend, Brodie, ended up dead. But that is all he has managed to piece together after waking up in the hospital with a head injury and no memory of that night.
Now, Jack is being accused of Brodie's murder. He can't say for sure what happened to his partner, but he knows he would never have hurt the man he loved like a brother.
He must clear his name, but a spotty memory and a possible murder charge are the least of his worries. Because Jack Tuesday didn't exist before 1951 . . .
Can he uncover the truth before the lie of his past catches up to him?
