Ten Days in BRAZZAVILLE

Books

An excerpt from the new novel by Beaufort author Scott Graber

O N E

The envelope was there, in plain view, but he did not see it. Instead, his sleep-filled eyes went to a bookcase. His eyes always went to his bookcase.

His bookcase was eight feet tall and ran for twenty uninterrupted feet along his northern wall. This long run of American walnut was dark, almost purple in color and featured an ancient set of Blackstone�s Commentaries. Blackstone�s books were never opened�admittedly they were d�cor. They were secondary to a paper cup, a plastic valve, and ten other objects that were individually illuminated in a way that reminded Jake of Hittite burial objects at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A Lively, Lovely Lowcountry Mystery

Books

Linda Lovely heads to Beaufort to promote�Dear Killer,�a thrilling new mystery set in the SC Lowcountry.

�

For my money, few things in life are more deliciously satisfying than curling up with a good mystery. From my early days as a Nancy Drew fanatic, through my Agatha Christie-inspired youth, right on up to my P.D. Jamesian, Elizabeth Georgian adulthood, when the simple urge to �read for pleasure� hits, I know of no better literary genre. But please note: I did say a �good� mystery � emphasis on �good� � and I�m a fairly demanding critic. I require a distinctive setting, a large, colorful cast of suspects, a memorable hero/heroine I can root for, and a plot that keeps me breathlessly turning pages and guessing �til the end. Oh, and the writing must be impeccable.

Quebec 1956. The boy wanders into the fields of his family�s dairy farm. There in a patch of wildflowers, he crouches down and gazes at the blooms from an ant�s point of view. The kaleidoscope of colors, shapes and forms set against the blue canvas of the sky dazzles the boy. An artist is born.
