Andy Puopolo: An Interview with award winning author Jan Brogan Pt. 2

Jan Brogan has been a journalist for more than thirty years, working as a correspondent for the Boston Globe, a staff writer for the Worcester Telegram and the Providence Journal, where she won the Gerald Loeb award for distinguished business writing.

She is the award-winning author of four mysteries, Final Copy, Confidential Source, Yesterday’s Fatal, and Teaser. Transactional Pictures, (Steven Soderbergh and Philip Fleishman) purchased the rights to A Confidential Source, which is currently under development for a television series.

The Combat Zone is a true account of a brutal murder, two flawed trials and the not so delicate balance between justice and revenge. It tells the story of an annual Harvard ritual that sent forty football players into Boston’s crime-plagued red light district for a “last drink, together,” and the death of a heroic 21-year-old cornerback who tries to save a friend.

The Combat Zone shows how a murder trial isn’t always about the victim or the accused but about a city in turmoil and a criminal justice system in need of reform.

Shortlisted for a 2022 Anthony Award and a 2021 Agatha Award
