Jack Blakely: Gumshoe Detective - Paperback

by Gene McCants (Author)

All Jack wanted was to protect his community. A community rife with crime and betrayal.

The newest Bethel City Police recruit, Jack Blakley believes he can make a difference in the city and become a beacon of hope and justice. But then his first case drags him undercover, forcing him to confront painful truths about both his family and the city he once loved. Will he be able to free himself from that web and, as importantly, face the man he's becoming?

Drawing on his own experiences growing up in a city like Jack's and using his technical IT experience to work with law enforcement, author Gene McCants has written a tense tale of family, loyalty, and justice that is perfect for any teen and young adult reader. Streetwise, offbeat humor keeps the story from taking too dark of a turn and shows that a compelling character can have an edge balanced by wit. Jack Blakely: Gumshoe Detective is a classic noir detective film on the page-and will keep the reader guessing until the credits roll.
