illi News/10068306

CHICAGO - illiNews -- In the latest and timely release, by USA Today Best-Selling Author, Jean Rabe, the former journalist and news bureau chief, keeps readers on the edge of their seats as a now eight-months-on-the-job, Sheriff Piper Blackwell, walks the fine line of small county ideals and the long ignored push for equality, in book four of the Piper Blackwell Series, The Dead of Jerusalem Ridge. It releases July 15, 2020 with Boone Street Press.

"Jean Rabe weaves a deceptively staid tempo of a tale in this new Sheriff Piper Blackwell novel (The Dead of Jerusalem Ridge) that quickly barrels into a starkly taut and terse murder mystery. The main plot, supported by a riveting subplot, is masterly crafted with an intriguing cast of characters, a unique setting, and an ending that feels like a double sucker punch!"  ⸺ Khaled Talib, author of the highly praised thriller, Gun Kiss.
