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’
