Pete Watson was happily married, had three kids and a mortgage. His life in Birmingham, Alabama, could not have been more normal. But all that was about to change. Watson, a veteran parole officer for the City of Birmingham, never expected to be so affected by the murder of his newest parolee, Freddie 'Jonesy' Jones, the brother of Watson's success-story parolee, Earl Stallings. But from the moment Jonesy's body is dumped on his grandmother's front porch, something about the case bothers Watson-even more so when the detective working the case declares it open and shut immediately. Working closely with Stallings to solve the murder, Watson is thrown into a world of evil he never knew existed. Laced with twists, turns, betrayal, and conspiracies, find out what happens when an ordinary man is pulled into a world where there are no rules and where standing up for what is right could cost him everything. 'This is a stunning book. David Clarke has knocked it out of the park. Once you start reading The Parole Officer, expect to burn the midnight oil until you are done. A wonderful read.' -Paul Finebaum, host of the syndicated radio program 'The Paul Finebaum Show'
