A high-speed car chase in the dead of night, a love triangle, drug dealers gone wild, a vengeful cousin, and a disembodied soul looking for retribution . . . Will there be devotion or betrayal? A descent into darkness or ascension to enlightenment? A rebirth or painful death? Or all of the above? Funny things are happening in the Lowcountry this summer, but theyre nothing to laugh at: Sticker, a mild mannered yet rugged middle-aged man is trying to make sense of a life filled with pain and abuse. Candy, his beautiful yet bitchy neighbor, has her hands full trying to raise her nine-year-old daughter by herself. And Tom, Candys second ex-husband and Stickers cousin, is dealing drugs with the help of the local sheriff. Then the night before the biggest drug deal the South has ever seen is set to happen, Tom is caught doing something a lot more heinous than dealing drugs-setting off a whirlwind of events that become, at once, a struggle for survival and a hopeful retribution of Candys and Stickers battered and shattered lives. The secrets buried in the swamps generations ago may save them-and you-but only if they are believed. Its a clear summers night. Its hot. Its sweaty. And theyre all alone. And those secrets of the past are starting to bubble up out of the swamps. Decisions must be made and made swiftly. But if the choices are wrong? Well, the swamps have a funny way of concealing not just the past, but the dead . . . and the dying. The secrets in the swamps are calling. . . Down in the Lowcountry. Can you handle them? Lowcountry Rising will be an instant classic. Its a suspenseful, psychological drama that left me deeply moved, deeply satisfied, and yet still wanting more -- a book readers will not want to put down. This novel has something for lovers of every genre: romance, action, literature, crime, and mystery. A must-read for anyone not afraid to examine themselves and the world.
