Pledge Allegiance: Texas political suspense
Über dieses E-Book
It's Texas in the 1980s. A young black high school quarterback says he won't play varsity football because they carry the Confederate flag. Katy Williams, editor at the local newspaper, is stunned by the reaction of the town -- and her staff -- which ranges from indifference to the flag to outrage that anyone would challenge it at all. When five of the starting line follow Clay Peabody off the team, the situation turns explosive. And then, the police find a body hanging from the goal posts at South Plains City High School.

Autoren-Profil
L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for any oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead — a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Washington, D. C. — places that have become the sites for her books. She got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.
She is an over-educated, bleeding-heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency. Some of her thrillers have werewolves in them — that doesn’t faze her either.
You can follow her on Facebook at ljbreedlove. Best place to find her — besides a local coffee shop — is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there!
