The Grinning Golly Murders: Book Now Available for 99 Cents
A journalist walks into an antique shop in New Orleans and finds a body.
The murder weapon? A controversial old relic.
The victim was a longtime dealer who refused to stop selling controversial pieces from the Jim Crow era. The police have one theory. The streets have another.
That’s the opening of The Grinning Golly Murders, Book 1 in The Harlow Files.
Jackson Harlow, a sharp New Orleans reporter with a nose for trouble and a healthy distrust of official stories, starts asking questions. What he uncovers pulls him into a web of political ambition, corruption, and violence that hits closer to home than he ever expected.
The story is fast, gritty, and very much of this moment — what happens when the culture war turns deadly?
Right now you can grab it at a special launch price:
Kindle ebook: 99¢ (Kindle Countdown Deal — ends soon)
Paperback: $9.99 (temporary drop from $13.99 — next seven days only)

If you’ve already read it, I’d be grateful for an honest review on Amazon — those early reviews make a huge difference for a new series.
Thanks for being here from the start. I’m excited to bring you more of Jackson Harlow’s cases (Book 2 is already in editing and it gets even darker).
I’ll be in touch soon,
Jeff Charles
