Synopsis

Carly Redmund, a Mobile, Alabama, police recruit is about to mess up her first major crime scene. Her training officer, J.C. Grey, orders her to give up the evidence found in the bottom of a well, a high school class ring. She does. Grey tucks the ring in his pocket. What happened to the bag-it-and-tag-it evidence procedure? Carly is left guarding the crime scene tape as a news van pulls in and the crew sets up. She overhears the female reporter tell the cameraman that the bones in the well might be Terence, a missing African American kid from the '70s, and that heads need to roll at PD, the racist SOBs. Why hasn’t Carly read about this case? As she remembers the initials TWW inscribed on the inside of the ring, Grey walks back and tells the rookie to keep her mouth shut, and he’ll handle everything, including the report. That doesn’t make any sense. Rookies handle the grunt work. Grey is hiding more than the ring. If he doesn’t put the ring in the property room, Carly will be blamed. She could lose her job. Worse, she could be charged with withholding evidence. Carly is in big trouble. What Carly doesn’t know is that a white supremacist group is involved -- and also mayoral candidate Derrick Grey, Officer Grey’s brother. While dealing with her own personal demons, Carly must learn to survive in a hostile environment, develop friends fast in a new city, and solve a cold-case murder to bring justice to a grieving mother.

About this title

Review

"Well of Rage is a fast-moving, suspenseful story of a determined police recruit taking on Mobile's most powerful politicians and her own department to solve a decades-old murder. This one is a page-turner and readers are going to want to hear more from Officer Carly Redmund." - Jaclyn Weldon White, author of Whisper to the Black Candle and Sidetracked "Lynn Hesse fires your imagination with multi- dimensional characters, scandalous secrets, and a moody vibe. The compulsively readable story offers unexpected plot twists leading to stunning revelations and a satisfying conclu- sion. The author's eye for detail makes this a winner that will stay with the reader long after the book is finished." - Marie Carrera, marketing consultant "Well of Rage is dynamite! Fast-paced and action- packed, it probes the depths of racial hatred that still persist by tying newfound bones to an unsolved murder and rips off the veneer of patriotism that clothes modern-day hate groups. Authentic and convincing, Well of Rage draws on Hesse's own experience as a detective. A great read." - Jennie Helderman, award-winning author of As the Sycamore Grows "Well of Rage draws the reader in with a plot in which a dark secret from the past shapes the present. Sharply honed characters, some with a desire to uncover the truth-some who need the secrets of both the past and present to remain buried-drive the story through a gripping series of events to a satisfying conclusion. A page-turning and enjoyable read." - Author Ruth Gresh, Atlanta Writers Group facilitator
