His new book has the story of a former Atlanta detective, Jed Bradley, reluctantly investigating a series of murders in his childhood home in South Carolina with possible strong personal ties that go back 40 years.
Bailey's other work is as the newly-appointed sheriff of Mecklenburg County as of February 6th.

That move to sheriff for Bailey appeared likely until a challenger, Charlotte attorney Nick Mackey, garnered support to become elected sheriff by the local Democratic party. Unfortunately for Mackey though, questions dogged his background and, moreover, the election itself was overturned by the state Democratic party as being termed flawed. Rushing to appoint a new sheriff, the county commissioners quickly appointed Bailey, who publicly expressed interest in the job. And needless to say, this story was well-covered by the local media and Bailey has his share of newspaper coverage.
However, I'd have to guess that all publicity can't hurt as Bailey's older books are in demand with current library requests according to a recent catalog check.
