Launching on IndieGoGo, action suspense author Russell Brooks hopes to raise $20,000 to make JAM RUN available to all readers who love thrillers with murder, betrayal, and revenge.
Brooks is pleased to announce that JAM RUN—the long-awaited sequel to CHILL RUN—is scheduled to be published in the first quarter of 2022. Today, JAM RUN launches on the crowdfunding site, IndieGoGo. In this novel, Brooks brings back inquisitive author and amateur sleuth, Eddie Barrow, and his outspoken best friend, Corey Stephenson. After witnessing a gruesome murder while visiting Montego Bay, they both get roped into finding the killer—only to end up evading ruthless assassins once they uncover evidence of a larger criminal conspiracy.
“When social and systemic barriers discourage victims and witnesses of hate or sex crimes from coming forward, it empowers the abusers,” said Brooks. “I’m appalled at the level of social acceptance of the ‘Buggery Law’ and other similar laws in the Caribbean. Vilifying a community with discriminatory laws has repercussions on society,” he added. These are some of the roadblocks that Eddie and Corey encounter that complicate their attempts in getting justice for the victim.
Jam Run is inspired by actual events in Jamaica that sent shockwaves around the world. This is why JAM RUN “is a gripping crime thriller about the ever-present menace and violence the LGBTQ communities face daily,” according to Montreal journalist and Fugues Magazine columnist Richard Burnett.
