FALSE RECORD Officially Released
Billy Paul Smith announces the release of False Record, the newest installment in the Brandon Powell Thriller Series — a legal suspense novel set in South Georgia.
I am pleased to announce the release of False Record, the newest installment in the Brandon Powell Thriller Series.
Set in South Georgia, False Record follows Brandon Powell as he becomes entangled in a murder investigation after the death of a prominent attorney whose past actions left a trail of damaged lives, broken trust, and unanswered questions. As evidence begins to point in Powell's direction, he must uncover the truth before a false narrative takes hold and destroys everything he has rebuilt.
The novel combines legal suspense, corruption, financial misconduct, murder, and courtroom intrigue in a story that asks an enduring question:
What happens when public perception becomes more powerful than the truth?
Although False Record continues the story of Brandon Powell, the novel was written to stand on its own. New readers can begin with False Record or start anywhere within the Brandon Powell Thriller Series.
