Description
To catch the killer who eluded her detective grandfather fifty years ago, a true-crime podcaster will have to contend with outdated evidence, ulterior motives, and the dark family secrets that got in the way.
True-crime podcaster Jess Keeler has returned to Deeton County, North Carolina, to pick out up where her grandfather left off. Sheriff’s Deputy Big Jim Ballard, her grandfather, used to be a respected detective—until it all came crashing down all over a 1972 murder investigation.
For Jim, solving the murders of two teens will have to have been the highlight of his already storied career. Instead, he battled his own mind, unsure where his hunches ended and the truth began.
Working from her grandfather’s disjointed notes, Jess is sure that she can in any case put the cold case—and her family’s shame—to rest. Enlisting the assistance of disgraced reporter Dan Decker, Jess soon discovers ugly truths about the first investigation, which used to be shaped by corruption, egos, and a family secret that can be the key to the crime.
Told in a dual timeline that covers both investigations, Something Bad Wrong explores human folly, hubris, and how once in a while, to solve a crime, it’s a must to find out who’s covering it up.
