A young Cajun girl, a high-powered Atlanta judge, and a deranged killer become entangled in Turnaround, a debut novel of intrigue and suspense.
At fifteen, Jerzy Rabideaux has lived most of her young life in poverty. With a father only capable of empty promises and an abusive alcoholic mother, Jerzy has learned to get what she needs by manipulating men with her sensual body and gorgeous, flowing jet black hair.
When her father abandons the family, Jerzy sets out to find him, convinced that she could make a normal life once she reunites with her father. Leaving her small hometown of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, she makes her way to Atlanta to begin her search. When she meets a high-ranking official who might be able to help locate her father, Jerzy resorts to her old trusted techniques to get the information she wants.
Setting off a whirlwind of revenge and murder, Jimmy Hurd creates a fast-paced seduction of lust, excitement, and scandal. With colorful, memorable characters, Turnaround is an addicting read and a wildly unpredictable good adventure.
