Shoofly Pie

—
Tim Downs

Get to know Kathryn Guilford, from a remote North Carolina county, and Nick Polchak—a.k.a. the Bug Man. When Kathryn receives news that her long-time friend and one-time suitor is dead, she refuses to accept the coroner’s finding that his death was by his own hand. Although she has a pathological fear of insects, she turns in desperation to Polchak, a forensic entomologist, to help her learn the truth. Gold Medallion award-winning author Tim Downs takes you on a thrill ride as Kathryn confronts her darkest fears to unearth a decade-long conspiracy that threatens to turn her entire world upside down.

When the overseer’s daughter, Camellia York, accidentally causes the death of the plantation owner, she is haunted by guilt. Trenton Tessier, the son of the plantation owner and the man Camellia expected to marry, faces hard choices. At last Camellia risks telling Josh Cain, her father’s half-brother, what really happened in the cookhouse … and discovers a startling truth about her family’s past—a secret that will forever change the path of her life.
