About Behind the Badge…
For Jill Andersen, being part of the Baltimore Police Department has always been both a tremendous honor and a serious responsibility. Her father, before his fall from grace, had instilled in her a great respect for police and the work they do day-to-day. But when a teenage boy winds up dead on the outskirts of downtown Baltimore, Jill finds herself once again faced with those who would abuse their badges to fulfill personal agendas and uphold biases.
Jill still has a job to do, but she soon finds that not everyone is in her corner. For the first time in almost four years working Homicide, Jill finds herself at odds with people who claim to be on her side. From other cops to suits downtown all the way to the Mayor’s office, it becomes increasingly clear that Jill will need to rely on more than just her badge if she’s to solve this case.
But even if she finds justice, what’s the price?
Behind the Badge, the gripping, hard-hitting third novel in the Jill Andersen series (Bounty, Blood Ties), gives readers another taste of author J.D. Cunegan’s comic book-inspired brand of fast-paced prose, with chapters that fly by and plot twists that will leave readers constantly guessing and waiting for more.
So, when’s this book out?
Behind the Badge, the third novel in the Jill Andersen mystery series, will be out in Kindle and paperback on June 1, 2016. The Kindle edition is currently available for pre-order.

Inspiration for the Book: Police brutality has become an epidemic over the past couple years, particularly violence based on race. Baltimore has been one of the epicenters of this violence and the tensions it creates within a community, and this felt like the sort of story I had to tell. Behind the Badge is inspired, in part, by real-life events, and it was illuminating to see the lead character, Baltimore homicide detective Jill Andersen, deal with a case in which the enemy was, in fact, one of her own.
