Jake’s Revenge is the first of Tom Lawrence’s fictional novels. Set in and around Mobile, Alabama, retired army counterintelligence officer, Major Mary Jo Thibodaux takes on the task of unraveling a 50 year old mystery that may or may not be connected to the Kennedy family, the 1960s civil rights movement, the KKK and/or the New Orleans mob. As Jake’s Revenge develops, the reader is treated to a glimpse of the beautiful, southern city, complete with local color, coastal scenery, and a taste of scrumptious, southern food.

Comments about the book range from:

“Jake’s Revenge was an entertaining page-turner.  I found myself actively reading through it one night and looked up to see that it was 4 am already!  Having such a tough, female lead was a touch unexpected, yet extremely enjoyable!  I think I’m in love with her… maybe it’s because she can kick my tail!”

to: “Jakes Revenge was a real page-turner. My husband read it after I finished, and also enjoyed it.  We don’t always read the same books, but we both found it enjoyable. My son-in-law was next. Thanks for your wonderful book! You now have three fans in my family!!! “
