And the truth refuses to stay buried.

Some stories hit a little different.

This one isn’t just about a killer…
it’s about what happens when people stay quiet.

When things get covered up.
When nobody speaks up.
When the truth gets buried.

That happens in real life more than people think.

Just something to think about.

🪙 A Penny For Your Thoughts.

He was buried… but the truth wasn’t.

Now someone is back—
not for closure…
for revenge.

If you think you know what happened…
you don’t.

The killer died in 1989.

So why are the murders starting again?

And why does every victim still have the same clue…

A penny.

A while back I released my first crime thriller novel, 1989: What Happens When A Killer Returns For Revenge, and I recently released the audiobook version on Audible.

The story centers around a reopened serial killer case from 1989 and explores themes like:

• Cold case investigations
• The pressure inside law enforcement and prosecution
• The impact a major case can have on a community
• The question of whether justice was truly served

As I prepare to release the second novel in the series, 1989: An Eye For An Eye later this year, I’m looking for a small group of audiobook listeners who enjoy crime thrillers and would be willing to listen and leave an honest review.

I’m selecting 25 reviewers, and in exchange I’ll send a complimentary Audible code for the audiobook.

If you enjoy:

• Crime fiction
• Legal thrillers
• True crime style storytelling
• Audiobooks with cinematic pacing

I’d love to hear from you.

Just comment “CASE FILE” below or send me a message and I’ll send the details.

– James

What if the wrong man was executed…

And the real killer waited 30 years to return?

The Penny Murderer case isn’t over.

The Penny Murderer case was supposed to be closed.

The killer was convicted.
The killer died in prison.
The town moved on.

But now the notes are back.

And every new body leaves the same message.

🪙 One penny.

Someone knows the truth.

The question is…

Who is finishing the murders?
