I grew up a fan of mystery novels and shows. Agatha Christie was my favorite mystery author and the Rockford Files my favorite detective show, though I read and watched them all.

Today my lifelong dream of becoming a mystery writer has become a reality. Final Judgment: A Jericho Novel, is the first book in a new series.

Those of you who love Victor McCain and Samantha Tyler, fear not. There will be new Vic and Samantha novels on the way.

For those of you who wanted to support me, but don’t read occult thrillers, here’s your chance to read about a private detective who lives and works in Oldham and Jefferson Counties.

I’ll be signing copies of Final Judgment at the La Grange Book Fair on August 3rd.

Uncover the Truth in Final Judgment by Tony Acree

“In Tony Acree’s superb thriller, Final Judgment, we are introduced to the newest member in the canon of tough literary private investigators. His name is Jericho.” – Tom Wallace, The Jack Dantzler Thrillers

“The Shakespeare-quoting, woman-charming, bourbon drinking, quick-witted PI takes on the police, the courts, and the “establishment” in search of justice—his form of justice.” – Bill Noel – A Folly Beach Mystery Series

About the novel:

When loan shark Robert King becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation, he asks private detective Jericho to help him beat the wrap. Considering they have hated each other since they were kids, it can only mean one thing: King is innocent.

Reluctantly, Jericho takes the case and finds no one wants him to find the truth. Not his friends, the cops, not the Commonwealths Attorney, and certainly not King’s rivals.

When the murderer turns his sights on Jericho and those close to him, will Jericho uncover the truth before it’s too late? Perfect for fans of thrilling detective stories.
