Dear Mr. Hobbs, I just finished your book and can tell you that it will haunt me for a long time. Your tireless effort to tell Rob’s story is an incredible testament to your friendship. I can’t even begin to imagine the ongoing grief that continues with all of Rob’s family and friends. Can you tell me what house is on the cover of the book? It doesn’t seem to be the house on Chapman or Smith. Thank you.
Jeff Hobbs
Hello, thank you so much for the kind words--it means a lot to think that Rob continues to impact people for the better. Sorry for the delay--I really am not on social sites at all, but I'm trying to do more lately as my next book, called Show Them You're Good, comes out in August. Anyway, I'm very grateful. The house on the cover is the property on Greenwood Avenue that he owned during the last few years of his life (it's not actually his suitcase in the photo--he was carrying it for a friend). Sincerely, Jeff

Hi Jeff, I just finished The Short And Tragic Life of Robert Peace, and I must applaud you as it was a fantastic read, made me stop and think often about Robert, and those in a similar situation to him. My question is this: is there any update on Robert's case? Has the case gone cold or has it been looked into since publication? Additionally, do you have any updates on Jackie, the Burger Boyz, and other characters?
