When you need a PI who entertains as much as he intrigues, look no further. Really. Lowcountry author David Burnsworth spins a tale that takes you straight to the South Carolina coast.

Here's the scoop: Lowcountry Private Investigator Blu Carraway needs a new client. He's completely broke and the tax man is coming for his little slice of paradise.

But not everyone appreciates his skills. Some call him a loose cannon. Others say he's a liability. All the ex-Desert Storm Ranger knows is his phone hasn't rung in quite a while.

Of course, that could be because it was cut off due to delinquent payments.

Lucky for him, a client does show up at his doorstep - a distraught mother with a wayward son. She's rich and her boy's in danger. Sounds like just the case for Blu.

Except nothing about the case is as it seems.

The jigsaw pieces - a ransom note, a beat-up minivan, dead strippers, and a missing briefcase filled with money and cocaine - do not make a complete puzzle. The first real case for Blu Carraway Investigations in three years goes off the rails.

And that's the way he prefers it to be.

Transport yourself to the Lowcountry and let Burnsworth and Carraway, well, carry you away. Trust me, it's worth the trip.
