Synopsis
The Wedding Present
Book One of The Journals of Fletcher Jones
Detective Fletcher Jones knows the night shift better than he knows his own home. In a city where corruption hides behind porch lights and respectability, Tuesdays are usually reserved for drunks, dead-end leads, and bad coffee. But when a violent explosion tears through a quiet neighborhood on Maple Drive, Fletcher and his sharp, enigmatic partner Detective Cassandra Vale arrive to find something far worse than a tragic accident.
What looks like a gas explosion quickly reveals itself as murder. A bride and groom lie dead among shredded wrapping paper, blood-soaked confetti, and the ruins of their wedding reception. Hidden in the wreckage are signs of a carefully planted bomb, a terrified bride with secrets, and a guest whose face has been burned out of every surviving photograph.
As Fletcher digs deeper, he uncovers a web of union racketeering, political bribery, blackmail, and city officials bought and sold like merchandise. The wedding itself was never a celebration—it was bait, designed to lure conspirators, liabilities, and witnesses into one room before the fire began.
While chasing killers through nightclubs, alleyways, hospitals, and abandoned ballrooms, Fletcher’s personal life crumbles around him. His marriage fractures, loyalties are tested, and Cass may know more than she ever admitted. In a city where justice is negotiated and truth comes with a body count, Fletcher must decide whether exposing the rot is worth losing everything he has left.
Dark, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, The Wedding Present is a hardboiled noir thriller about power, betrayal, and the price of seeing a city too clearly. In the end, the guilty may fall—but the city remains exactly what it always was: dirty, hungry, and still open for business.
