Nashville, 1980. A councilman falls from a high-rise. The city calls it suicide. But Jackson Trade isn’t buying it.
Hired by a woman with her own agenda, Jackson is drawn into a world of organized crime and dirty politics. As he tries to prove a murder, he unravels a conspiracy that leads from the city’s rain-slick alleys to its glimmering high-rises.
As truth and lies blur, Jackson must navigate a deadly game, dodging bullets, corrupt cops, and a woman whose secrets may be fatal. Everyone wants answers. Some will kill for the truth. Others will bury it—and Jackson too, if they must.
A literary noir where Raymond Chandler’s wit meets the shadowy moral terrain of James Ellroy, Suicide Trade is a taut, twisting mystery filled with sharp dialogue, inhabited by unforgettable characters, and told through the eyes of a main character who is bruised but never beaten
This is Hardboiled Southern. All. Day. Long.
