Back To Honor by Mallory Monroe

Reggie Reynolds, a political reporter in Baltimore, returns to her hometown of Honor, Alabama when her beloved baby brother is found brutally murdered. Not only is she returning to confront this horrible news, but she is also returning to the ghosts of her past, where she was once a local reporter whose refusal to bury a story on judicial corruption caused her father, an eminent but flawed judge, to commit suicide. Reggie’s brother, not to mention most of her hometown, turned passionately against her, believing that her decision to print the story was not because of some highfalutin sense of honor, but because of her own twisted ambition.

It is also an election year in Honor and the man in charge of the investigation, Police Chief Phillip Robb, a man Reggie loves despite their tumultuous relationship, is fighting desperately to hold onto his job and his position of power. Reggie’s love for him will be tested time and time again when she discovers that not only are the locals doing all they can to paint her brother’s murder as some drug deal gone wrong, and therefore of little consequence, but that Robb himself seems to be leading the cover-up. What she doesn’t understand is why.

Back to Honor: A Reggie Reynolds Romantic Mystery is an updated and expanded version of an earlier work.
