Deborah Jones #2 / 2
by J. B. Turner
Dark Waters (Deborah Jones #2) by J. B. Turner
Unrated

A gripping political thriller with a killer twist for fans of Harlan Coben, Stieg Larsson, Sara Paretsky, Karin Slaughter and Michael Connelly. 'How far would you go to uncover the truth?' "Dark Waters was a gripping read . . . an edge-of-your-seat thriller and a must-read" - Tracey Lampley, Book Mistress Book Blog When the partially dismembered body of a young man is found in the Florida Everglades, Deborah Jones, the fearless African American investigative journalist for the Miami Herald, finds herself caught up in a story that has ramifications far beyond anything she could have ever imagined. The victim had contacted Deborah anonymously just the day before, promising her top-secret government documents - the missing 28 pages of the 9/11 report - if she'd agree to a meeting. But he didn't show up, calling to say he feared for his life. Deborah Jones is a woman not easily deterred by threats. But when a second person dies in mysterious circumstances, it is clear to her and to everyone on her newspaper that Deborah could be next on the assassin's list.

J. B. Turner

J. B. Turner

In the murky underworld of covert operations and political corruption, J.B. Turner carves out a space where nothing is as it seems—and no one ever walks away clean. With more than three million copies sold worldwide, Turner has become a steady force in modern thriller fiction, crafting taut, emotionally charged narratives that blend explosive action with unnerving psychological depth.

Before he turned to fiction, Turner worked as a journalist—a detail that lingers in his writing like smoke after gunfire. His stories pulse with an insider’s understanding of power, media, and the machinery of modern politics. This sharp, investigative eye became the backbone of his breakout Jon Reznick series, a collection of fast-paced thrillers featuring a former black-ops specialist haunted by loss and driven by an uncompromising sense of justice. Whether tracking terrorists across international borders or unearthing deep-state secrets, Reznick isn’t the kind of hero who plays by the rules—but he’s exactly the one you want when things fall apart.

Turner’s work doesn’t shy away from moral ambiguity. His characters are often caught in the grey zone—between law and chaos, duty and revenge. That complexity extends across his American Ghost black-ops series and his Deborah Jones crime thrillers, where high-stakes investigations meet personal reckonings. If there’s a unifying thread, it’s Turner's fascination with the cost of secrets—and what happens when the truth becomes dangerous.

Originally from Scotland, Turner now lives in Edinburgh with his family, where he writes full time. His interests in geopolitics, music, and cinema shape the cinematic feel of his novels—books that read like a John le Carré tale with a Jason Bourne heartbeat.

He may not seek the spotlight, but in the world of political and military thrillers, J.B. Turner has quietly become essential reading for those who like their fiction fast, smart, and unflinchingly honest.
