A small business owner, Amos Dunn, has been found murdered in the lowcountry town of Morgan, South Carolina.

And so begins a wild ride though the politics and changing culture of a small, quiet lowcountry town that endangers all of their lives as they seek the truth.The story of Amos Dunns murder and its aftermath will forever change the way the town of Morgan views itself as it is thrown into a spotlight it has tried to avoid.

Tim Hollands weaving of the story through common everyday events in Morgan brings the town and its people to life. Everyone from Professor Lake and Tillie James to tourist, pastors, policemen and especially Mrs. Micawber, Sidney Lakes Labrador retriever find themselves entangled in a web they thought could only be woven by the decadence of a large city.
