Valedictory

About the Book

When Jonah Aaron graduated from Nashville’s Academic Magnet High School, he was voted the most interesting member of the class of 1997. His classmates predicted that he would become a CIA operative and that he would be bringing the best-looking woman in the room to the tenth-year reunion. Twelve years later, Jonah is married to screenwriter Elana Grey, once known as the hottest young redhead in country music. But instead of the CIA, Jonah has become a partner in Brandenburg and Aaron Entertainment and a producer of television shows and independent films. Jonah skipped the tenth-year reunion and never even bothered to investigate when the valedictorian of his senior class was murdered shortly after graduation. But now, Jonah has two reasons to investigate the crime: he feels sorry for the victim’s brother and he thinks that the investigation may lead to a script for the highly rated comedic-drama police procedural, which is a cornerstone of his production company.
