LATE SUMMER 1939: Hitler threatens war in Europe. Here, the Great Depression persists, Jim Crow rules the South, and mob corruption spreads.

“This is historical fiction, but it’s obvious Reed did his homework.” -Rober Schrage, author of CARL KIGER: The Man Beyond the Murder

“Gary Reed’s third novel Things Could Get Ugly continues to deliver the high quality mystery writing of his two earlier works. Reed, a well known Greater Cincinnati attorney, has a knack for writing well researched mysteries that shine a spotlight on relevant social issues used to fuel a cracking good plot. He makes us care about those caught in the grinding wheels of oppression. But Reed gives us a bonus: a love story that deeply humanizes the hero. Yes. I loved Things Could Get Ugly.” – Amazon Reviewer
