Killing Bobby R.

"Killing Bobby R." is a fictional mystery. When a high profile Atlanta investment banker is murdered on Easter Sunday, Adam Manship, publisher of The Atlanta Democrat, sends a young reporter to cover the story. But Manship issues strange orders: This story is not to be printed, and the reporter is to turn everything he learns over to him. No one is to know of the investigation, now or ever.As the investigation unfolds, it reveals a story of murderous revenge, tangled loyalties and twisted hearts -- and why Adam Manship, the billionaire media mogul, has such a personal interest in it.Set largely in rural Georgia in 1988, "Killing Bobby R." is the first in a series of Adam Manship inquiries conducted over a twenty-five year span by his team of personal, in-house-journalists. The inquiries were always for Mr. Manship's private purposes, never for print.It is only now, after his death, that these stories are allowed to be told.
