Mac Burns is a retired police detective from Atlanta who makes a new home in the sleepy lowcountry town of Bluffon, South Carolina. Mac is devoted to his divorced status, and not particularly interested in a new relationship, however...

Shelby, many years Mac's junior may be interested. Is Mac?

Enter Percy, his next door neighbor and a disbarred attorney, who proves to be, at very least, a reliable drinking buddy.

When an old acquaintance from his days in Atlanta shows up, his hopes of a "ho hum" existence are quickly dashed. Mac discovers that the instincts he cultivated as a big city cop haven't faded as he reluctantly but purposefully dives into the task of solving a mystery that will take him from Charleston to New Orleans and even back to Atlanta. Nothing could prepare him for the ultimate outcome.

Lowcountry Boil is an engaging and entertaining page turner, particularly for fans of crime fiction.
