About the author

I’m L.J. Breedlove, a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what I know: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.

I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me.
