PAWTUCKET – In John Partridge’s fourth book, “Under Blood Moons,” he pulls back the curtain on the drama surrounding parole board hearings and unpopular decisions, using real-world research to help craft this work of fiction.
“Under Blood Moons” introduces a not-to-be-forgotten hero, “the raffish Jake Fournier,” says Partridge. As a former boozer who was addicted to opiates, who still suffers migraines and PTSD resulting from the loss of an arm in the Iraq War and the death of his pregnant wife at the hands of a hit-and-run driver, he makes an improbable parole board member, states a synopsis. Amid confronting his wife’s murderer in a fight to the death, he steps into “a whirlwind of political and social media turmoil,” when an embittered and disfigured lifer, who as a teenager confessed to a brutal murder, petitions the board for parole.
