A CRIMINAL ON THE LOOSE

In the heart of Kentucky’s mining country, in a tiny town where alcohol was against the law and no one locked their doors, everyone knew Jerome Boggs was a bad seed. Even so, no one suspected how vicious he was …

A WILLING WOMAN

A stone’s throw from a church, in a neatly kept single-wide trailer, police found the body of a young man murdered execution style. In the bedroom they found Tim Cook’s innocent 4-year-old son T.J. lying among his toys – with two fatal bullet wounds in his chest and tears still in his eyes …

AND A MARRIAGE MADE TO MURDER

Soon police were hunting down Jerome Boggs and unraveling a stunning story of depravity. Holed up in a cheap motel and stocked up on liquor and beer, Jerome had wed his 20-year-old wife to a diabolical plan for murder. Now the only question was: what punishment could possibly fit their crimes?

More about PRECIOUS BLOOD and author SAM ADAMS!

Whitesburg, Kentucky, is a friendly little town cuddled up against the northern slope of Pine Mountain. According to the welcome sign, it is home to 1,534 friendly people and only two grouches.

In a town where everyone knows everybody else, where doors, windows, and lives are kept unlocked and un-curtained, and family relationships and histories are discussed as openly as the daily news, a young girl gets caught up in her husband’s plot to rob and murder an acquaintance. When the crime goes down, the man’s four-year-old son—known and adored throughout the town—is shot and killed.

PRECIOUS BLOOD is not your typical, modern-day “Bonnie and Clyde” story. This is a story riddled with misguided swipes at the American Dream, buried hopes, and blind, unconditional loves; loves that, had they come with certain conditions, might not have destroyed lives and marred a quiet community’s peace of mind.

PRECIOUS BLOOD is a story that hits chillingly close to home. This is blue collar America, where hard work, honesty and family are valued above all else. These could be the people who live down the street from you. These could be members of your own family, or your friends’ families. This town could be your town.

Sam Adams, a lifelong journalist and photographer, has worked as a general assignment reporter at The Mountain Eagle in Whitesburg, an investigative reporter at The Daily Independent in Ashland, Kentucky, (then owned by the Wall Street Journal) and assistant city editor at The Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer, formerly a little sister of The Dallas Morning News.

During his years reporting, he covered everything from school board meetings to murders to environmental disasters, and from local council elections to gubernatorial and presidential campaigns.  He now works as a writer, consultant and sometimes teacher.

He lives with his wife and children in America’s first frontier, the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky.
