Hell Swamp, a Mystery/Suspense novel by North Carolina writer, Susan Whitfield.
Agent Logan Hunter's cast iron stomach and steeled nerves are put to the test in
Hell Swamp, a place where snakes, skulls, and sinister secrets abound.
Called back into action from her personal leave to track down a sadistic murderer,
Logan travels to a location in the backwoods of North Carolina, not far from where
she grew up.
At Beatty's Bridge, the familiar Greek revival mansion named The Black River
Plantation, now holds a crime scene beyond anyone's worst nightmare: a gruesome mess
with blood tracked everywhere, and key evidence already obliterated. With the SBI
seriously shorthanded, Agent Hunter has the daunting task of finding the killer.
She questions a strange assortment of suspects, including deer hunters, and soon
discovers the seemingly harmless victim had numerous enemies. Which one committed
the heinous crime?
ISBN 978-1-60318-094-8 - Mystery/Suspense Trade Paperback - $15.95 - Page Count 196

Today’s Washington Post featured a column by Steven Pearlstein, with his take on the new technologies that are transforming publishing and bookselling. He must be a brave man, if he’s willing to make predictions on where all this change will lead.

Hat's Off!
Hat's Off to...JOHN GROOMS of Charlotte, NCWN member and critiquer, who recently won a first place award from the North Carolina Press Association. Grooms, who writes a weekly column for Charlotte alternative weekly Creative Loafing, won first place among weeklies with circulation greater than 10,000 in the category of "lighter columns." His win was based on these sarcasm-laden selections: "Mommy, can I stone the queer now?" "Overkill? What overkill?" and "Do it yourself campaign ads."
