A MATTER of RESPECT, the sequel to Well of Rage

Carly Redmund’s life in Mobile looks bright. She’s hoping to become a police sergeant and her new boyfriend treats her like a queen. But her buddy is killed and SHE gets the blame.


In Well of Rage, new police recruit Carly, is about to mess up her first crime scene. She’s found evidence of a murder — but her training officer orders her to hand it over. Then he pockets it.

Dynamite! Fast-paced and action-packed, it probes the depths of racial hatred that still persists.

Jennie Helderman, award-winning author of “As the Sycamore Grows”
