The Shady Side of the Lowcountry
South Carolina's Lowcountry is a picturesque location for vacations and fun, but it comes with a sinister side. Bootleggers in Hell Hole Swamp supplied illegal liquor to Al Capone, while a local man became one of the FBI's most famous crimefighters. A murder mystery was solved on a gravestone. Tales feature a spree killer, serial killers, poisoners (and a man who could cure poisoning), love triangles gone wrong and a swamp creature called Lizard Man. Crime writer Cathy Pickens brings a novelist's eye to the crime stories that define the sinister--and quirky--side of the Lowcountry.
Cathy Pickens, a lawyer and college professor, is a crime fiction writer (Southern Fried Mysteries, St. Martin's/Minotaur and Joffe Books) and true crime columnist for Mystery Readers Journal. She is a professor emerita at the McColl School of Business and has served as national president of Sisters in Crime and on the boards of Mystery Writers of America and the Mecklenburg Forensic Medicine Program (an evidence collection/preservation training collaborative). She is also the author of CREATE! (ICSC Press), offers coaching and workshops on developing the creative process and works with writers on telling their stories.
