Produktbeschreibung

A small community in rural Mississippi isn't the usual setting for a gruesome crime.

The local cops routinely make marijuana busts, break up dog fights, and occasionally haul a drunken husband in on a domestic abuse charge. But when Madison Levy, a beautiful young woman with a promising future, is set on fire and left for dead, the local authorities know they are out of their league and request help from the state police.

When even the FBI fails to make a timely arrest, her parents' hire the only man who can help: W.C. Fields. This local private detective has worked many cases, but he's never had a case like this. He quickly learns that rumors are cheap and everyone in town is selling. W.C. digs for the truth amid the fiction and what he finds isn't pretty: His picturesque town, on the surface full of Southern charm, is a hotbed of racism and deep hatred for anyone who doesn't follow the rules.

When all the evidence points to a local gang member, he does what any decent detective would do...

He turns the small Mississippi town upside down.

Autorenporträt

Max Cherry was born in Thorn, Mississippi on what he believes is a hotbed of psychic activity. His bedroom was the most terrifying place on earth, and his parents had to nightly reassure him that the monsters he swore were in his closet and under his bed were only in his head. He quickly discovered his parents were right, but it was not until he picked up his first pencil and started writing that he fully realized how crowded it was up there. As the pencil worked its gray magic on every piece of scrap paper he could scrounge, Max discovered that writing was the only way to chase the monsters away.
Max currently lives in Yalobusha county with his wife and daughter. He refuses to trust empty boxes and cannot tolerate sitting next to food he cannot pronounce. When his family goes to sleep, Max still passes the time by writing the monsters away.
