Justice Tomorrow - Paperback

by Jackie Ross Flaum (Author)

Civil War Secrets, Modern Betrayals

Pretty little Crossville, Georgia seethes with rage in 1965. The lynching of a Black teen brings the civil rights group Justice Tomorrow into Crossville.

And it's a dangerous town for investigators who don't have their heads on straight.

Socrates Gray, a Southern Black, and Madeline Sterling, a white Bostonian, lead an undercover team that soon becomes mired in murder, assault, deception -- and forbidden love.

With their lives and hearts on the line, Sterling and Gray realize that only the dead tell the truth in a town of Civil War-era secrets and modern-day betrayals.

"John Grisham is a poor man's Jackie Ross Flaum . . . A former journalist, Flaum examines ingrained racism as if it were linseed oil permeating the white oak soul of the Deep South." --George I. Fleming, author of Bad Habits and Don Coyote

"Justice Tomorrow grabbed me with its opening paragraphs and set the hook with a heart-wrenching scene that, days later, still haunts me. Sterling and Gray are multi-dimensional characters with a complex relationship and an intense desire to do the right thing." --Jaden Terrell, author of the Jared McKean private detective series
