With its gracious homes and tree-lined streets, Ansley Park is one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. But in one gleaming mansion, in a teenager’s lavish bedroom, a girl has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her horrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughter’s attacker with her bare hands. Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is here only to do a political favor; the murder site belongs to the Atlanta police. But Trent soon sees something that the cops are missing, something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the shell-shocked mother.

    With the exception of John Gardner's Grendel, I now have a new favorite re-telling of the Beowulf story. Ashley Crownover's Wealtheow: Her Telling of Beowulf avoids the pitfalls of the women's-retelling subgenre, and enriches the Beowulf mythos in ways that writers have failed to do since Gardner. Wealtheow: Her Telling of Beowulf is surprisingly good for a debut novel. I recommend it. Collapse

    The Midwest Book Review said "The Muted Mermaid is an amazing novel" and they were right! It's set in Nashville and its sequel, Shaved Ice, is also. This is a great chance to meet the author and learn why he chose to set the action in the Music City. Collapse

    Del Staecker is a new writer on the mystery novel scene. I expect to see him follow in the steps of his fellow Citadel Graduate: Pat Conroy. The school has produced some outstanding writers and Del is now one of them. You will see movies being made from his books. Expect to see the cameras in Nashville for his new book "Shaved Ice," when it will undoubtedly be made into a movie. Show up at the reading and be one of those who can say: I saw him when. Collapse
