Who Slew Bonnie Blue?

In “Who Slew Bonnie Blue?,” author Elbert Marshall writes a “tale of two cities” — flashing back in Book One to 1977 to explore the underbelly of Glamorgan when drugs, sex and X-rated videotapes were the city’s criminal foundation. A new Glamorgan Series character emerges in John Wesley Parrish, who is the Gazette’s crime reporter. Parrish finds himself walking a tightrope with the “wrong crowd” — to include penning a movie script entitled “The Xanhedrin Rhapsody” for porno king, Jackson Brown Black, a.k.a. Blackjack; and writing the novel, “Fallen Angel: The True Story of Bonnie Blue,” after Miss Blue is convicted of murder and sentenced to prison. In Book Two, Marshall flashes forward to 2010. Bonnie Blue has served her prison sentence and returns to Glamorgan seeking redemption for her sinful acts. When she is found murdered at a local motel, Detectives Maxine Mudd and Jeffrey Pitts begin their investigation and stumble on a possible connection between older police department detectives and the 1977 murder case. They begin piecing the puzzle together — right up to a fatal shootout in a cemetery that will leave readers wondering, “What the just happened!”
