Forging Iron — Bowen Greenwood

In a town plagued by organized crime, a politician buys an election he's too broke to afford. Reporter Sherman Iron smells trouble. With the murder of a fellow journalist the mystery turns dangerous. But the path to solving it leads through a dark secret from Iron's own past, one he's kept buried for years. A man's life hangs in the balance as Iron must confront the truth about his family and his own father. If he fails, a good man may wind up dead, and nameless thugs destroy his town and home.
