In "Miami Requiem," the first book of the Deborah Jones series by J.B. Turner, rookie reporter Deborah Jones at the Miami Herald is determined to interview William Craig, a man on Death Row for killing Senator Jack O'Neill's son in revenge for the acquittal of his granddaughter's rape. With only five weeks until Craig's execution, Deborah has compiled extensive research on the case, driven by personal motives to uncover the truth. Despite the risks associated with Senator O'Neill's powerful and potentially Mob-linked connections, her managing editor, Sam Goldberg, reluctantly assigns her the story. He warns her of the dangers, likening Florida to a swamp rather than the Sunshine State it's known to be. Deborah's pursuit of the story sets the stage for a tense exploration of justice and vengeance.
