The county is home to a proud people who enjoy a rich and well-defined culture that encourages self-reliance and ingenuity. The area also has a long standing and well-earned reputation for lawlessness, criminal enterprise and systemic corruption. Cedrick “Dreamer” Jameson is an acclaimed investigative journalist and successful author. Dreamer is working on a two-part series describing a major FBI-led interagency sting operation aimed at curtailing criminal activities in and around Cocke County. He begins an independent investigation of the heinous unsolved murder of Wayne Becker. Becker was a prominent business man and county leader with ties to the area’s criminal activities, both past and present. It is during this investigation that Dreamer finds himself out of his depth. In a clash of cultures, he quickly learns that certain citizens of Cocke County do not appreciate “outsiders,” especially a highly educated and successful black man, snooping into their business. Threats are made. Clear warnings are given to ensure that Dreamer’s investigation into the Becker murder stops....or else! Giving up is not part of Dreamer’s DNA. However, he needs help and reaches out to three friends he calls the “Crew.” Simply stated, the crew is an extremely close knit group of friends who met as freshman student athletes at Princeton University. Theirs is a special bond and when one of them is in need, the others respond without hesitation or, in this case, without regard for their own safety and that of their loved ones. Hillbilly Cold Case is a compelling story about not only enduring friendships, but also the many challenges and dangers the crew encounters as they uncover the truth about Wayne Becker’s corrupt activities and who is behind his murder.
