Final Judgment: A Jericho Novel

by Tony Acree

In Louisville, Kentucky, a city where secrets are as plentiful as bourbon, a murder rocks the tight-knit community. When electrician Greg Chambers is found slain in his own home, the prime suspect is none other than Robert King, a notorious loan shark with a rap sheet longer than the Ohio River.

Enter Jericho, a private detective whose history with King stretches back to their grade school days. Despite their mutual disdain, Jericho knows one thing for if King is willing to hire him, he must be innocent.

As Jericho delves into the dark heart of Louisville's criminal underworld, he discovers layers of deception. With each twist and turn, the city itself becomes a character in this pulse-pounding tale of betrayal, redemption, and a tangled web of lies.

In a race against time, Jericho must navigate the murky waters of loyalty and deceit to uncover the truth before it's too late. With enemies lurking around every corner, can he unravel the mystery before it consumes them all?

"In Tony Acree's superb thriller, Final Judgment, we are introduced to the newest member in the canon of tough literary private investigators. His name is Jericho." - Tom Wallace, The Jack Dantzler Thrillers

"The Shakespeare-quoting, woman-charming, bourbon drinking, quick-witted PI takes on the police, the courts, and the “establishment” in search of justice—his form of justice." - Bill Noel - A Folly Beach Mystery Series
