For more than a year, the grizzliest murder in the history of the normally sleepy, mid-cities town of Hurst, Texas has gone unsolved. With the case growing colder by the day and desperate for any kind of breakthrough, the victim’s mother turns to private investigators Donovan Bay and Michelle Bentley. They dig in immediately, but the more they dig, the worse the victim looks, the more potential suspects they find, and the deeper the mystery becomes. SECOND WEDNESDAY is the debut novel from veteran graphic novelist J.C. Vaughn (24, Stargate Atlantis, Vampire, PA).
"Lean, muscular, vivid prose in the best noir tradition. J.C. Vaughn putsyou in the room with his characters."
ROBERT TINNELL
Writer/Director of Feast of the SevenFishes
“J.C. Vaughn has taken the torch from Lee Child and used it to setthe Crime/Mystery world aflame like it was Devil's Night in Detroit, 1994.SECOND WEDNESDAY is ground- and bone-breaking, meaning this is where the shovelmeets the dirt, where the bones are buried. His use of dialogue and story makesme wish crime really did pay,
because I would steal his ideas and make themmy own.”

“This is Texas Noir at it's finest. A true page-turner that wouldmake Dashiell Hammett smile. Fast-paced and addictive, SECOND WEDNESDAY neverstops giving, and it needs to be the next big Netflix series! I want more Bayand Benson!”

“Detectives, conspiracies, disillusionment, corpses, mysteries andeven an amazing nod to the noir films I love the most. This may be J.C. Vaughn'sfirst novel, but... wait, dammit. How can this be his firstnovel?”
