Check out the Bystander, guys. I ARC read a fellow author's book. It releases on September 24. He pointed out America's gun issue in this book. It's a mystery revolves around a shooting. The review is on Goodreads.

The Bystander by John David is a debut page-turner set up by an active shooter situation at a famed college football rivalry weekend. Is there more to the story? #thriller #mystery #BookSky 💙📚
