Final Curve by Madge D. OwensOn a rainy Sunday night before the convening of the Georgia General Assembly, Henry Perkins, fired and disgraced former mail services director in the Office of Secretary of State, loses control of his car and plunges to his death.  Ten years later three prominent legislators, former co-workers who had a hand in his dismissal, die in car accidents almost in a re-creation of his death.  Is it mishap or murder?

The Final Curve is a compelling, suspenseful and fictional tale of love, lies and deception with a glimpse of government and history under the gold dome.
