Sinopsis

Things Could Get Uglyáis historical fiction, set in late summer, 1939.á It was a time when the Great Depression lingered on, Jim Crow divided the South along racial lines, the Syndicate was extending its influence. Hitler threatened war in Europe, and there was speculation President Franklin Roosevelt might run for an unprecedented third term.ááJack O',Brien,áa young newspaper reporter, returns to Covington, looking for a story that will make his reputation and, he hopes, help him land an assignment overseas to cover the events unfolding in Europe.The story Jack finds involves a scoundrel preacher, a wrongly convicted black man, a corrupt politician, and a dangerous mobster.á But if he pursues that story, he puts everythingáhe holds dear at risk.áAlthough the story involves a gangster and public corruption, the novel has the vibe of the newspaper reporter movies that were popular in the 1930s.á Many of its themes are relevant today.áAnd like those 1930s reporter movies, there',s a romance angle too!á
