White Gold

“White Gold is more than a plot about problem-solving, conspiracies, or redemption. Beneath its fast-paced action lies a heart of personal inspection and social and legal conflicts that dovetail to create an involving tale, whether it takes place in the courtroom, on the street, or in E.J.'s conflicted heart.”
—D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“Fans of Westerns and detective and mystery stories will find this combination refreshingly different and well-represented in White Gold.

As a Texas Ranger with a son in Afghanistan, E.J. Kane has always opted for being on the side of the law. When his son is killed, E.J. finds his marriage, his career, and his convictions dissolving. The lure of grief is irresistible as subsequent bad decisions and new associations land him in territory both unfamiliar and frighteningly recognizable, albeit from a different perspective.

As his daughter's drug addiction leads to her becoming involved in sex trafficking and his new lover, businesswoman Widow Welchel, represents a scheme involving 'white gold', E.J. walks a dangerous road in attempting to get his life (or, at least, his morals) back on track.

Fans of intrigue and suspense stories will find plenty of both in a plot that pulls heartstrings and tests the reader's problem-solving abilities on E.J.'s behalf. E.J. navigates a milieu in which his poor choices of the past immerse him in situations he might not be able to escape from, himself, much less rescuing anyone else.

E.J.'s probe into what really happened reveals a dangerous force and conspiracy that threatens more than just his life as killings continue to rock everything around him, testing his moral code.

Micheal E. Jimerson pays special attention to E.J.'s emotional changes and challenges as he navigates unfamiliar waters, struggles with his misery and grief, and acknowledges good times of the past (and even a few present-day). All these revelations contribute to a reset of his purposes and perspectives, bringing readers along for an engrossing story of intrigue laced with personal growth.

White Gold is more than a plot about problem-solving, conspiracies, or redemption. Beneath its fast-paced action lies a heart of personal inspection and social and legal conflicts that dovetail to create an involving tale, whether it takes place in the courtroom, on the street, or in E.J.'s conflicted heart.

Readers of suspense, detective, and social issues stories will find these are strong threads that pull one into the story to provide unexpected twists as E.J. comes to new realizations about his place in the world and his impact on both personal and public life.

White Gold's multifaceted draw makes it a strong recommendation for contemporary fiction libraries looking for genre-crossing standouts.”
