BLOOD ON THE DOGWOOD: ScreenPlay baixar o livro de graça

Georgia, 1934. She killed to save her brother. They hanged him anyway. Now she's coming for them all.
When 24-year-old Jessie Stubbins kills a man in self-defense, she triggers a devastating chain of events that will destroy her family and forge her into an avenging angel. Her brother Ray takes the fall for murders she committed to protect him. A corrupt sheriff destroys evidence to close the case cleanly. A vindictive judge ensures Ray dies in the electric chair for crimes he didn't commit—while the real killers walk free.

The night the lights went out in Georgia, something died in Jessie Stubbins. Something cold and patient and unforgiving. Because debts don't die. And Jessie always finishes what she starts.
