Author News . . . THE LAST BLUE NOON IN MAY wins Killer Nashville's 2018 Silver Falchion Award, and author Joseph L.S. Terrell is the recipient of the 2018 Mystery Writers of America's Magnolia Award. THE
LAST BLUE NOON IN MAY Outer Banks crime writer Harrison Weaver tackles a really cold casedisappearance of the nine-year-old sister of Chief Deputy Odell Wright. The young girl vanished twenty-two years earlier, and there seem to be no leads at all as to what happened to her. But when the "Bear Woman," who had befriended the black bears on the mainland near North Carolina's Outer Banks, is found dead in what appears to be a bear attack, Harrison and his friends SBI Agent Ballsford Twiddy and Deputy Odell Wright, unearth a connection that could shed light on the girl's fate. Now they must deal with the death of the Bear Woman, and the questions that nag them: Was she really killed by bears? Or was she killed by someone who feared she might be ready to uncover a brutal crime of decades earlier? Praise for the Harrison Weaver Mysteries "With Ernest
Hemingway as his own personal muse, Joseph L.S. Terrell's Harrison Weaver
series are delightful cozy mysteries taking place on the Outer Banks of
North Carolina, where he has lived for quite a while. As soon as you begin
reading, you realize you know each of the characters personally. The dialogue
and suspense make these books hard to put down, so be prepared for a long
night of intriguing reading." Undertow of Vengeance,
Joseph Terrell's fourth thriller in the Harrison Weaver crime writer series,
and set in North Carolina's Outer Banks, is a knockout. With the deadpan
savvy delivery of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade and the clipped declarative
sentences of Dashiell Hammett, this volume, like its predecessors, reaches
out in the very first sentence, grabs you by the lapels, and never lets
up. Smooth writing from
an eloquent storyteller goes down like fine scotch. Undertow of Vengeance
is a keeper. "Every once in
a while I'll pick up a book and from the first sentence, I'm engaged.
Written with an extraordinary eye for detail yet in the sparse language
of the journalist he once was, Terrell's novel is filled with wonderful
dialogue, believable characters and just enough plot twists to keep the
reader turning pages." "Joe Terrell
gets the Outer Banks just right, from crashing surf to the sordid crimes
behind the tourism façade, to a thoughtful sleuth who can throw
a punch and make a mean sweet tea." "A smart, savvy
combination of who-done-it and police procedural." |
