Book Tour Set for Latest Mystery By Apple Valley Author Rob Jung
"Judgment Day" Launches June 10 at Fair Trade Books in Red Wing
(Red Wing, MN) – Politics and scandal seem to go hand in hand in real life. They are also great bedfellows in the latest mystery by Minnesota writer Rob Jung.
Judgment Day, set to launch in early June, is the story of Magnolia Kanaranzi, a recently elected U.S. Senator who is within a heartbeat of losing it all after being accused of murdering her own mother. She adamantly maintains her innocence, but the facts point to her guilt.
With the threat of the death penalty hanging over her head, Kanaranzi reluctantly agrees to meet with a forensic psychologist whose job is to determine whether she is competent to stand trial. Shocking revelations evolve from Kanaranzi’s sessions, uncovering the real murderer, and setting in motion events that lead to a calamitous conclusion as perception and reality collide.
