Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Joe Singleton's back, this time in a place suspiciously like Durham, North Carolina, and the years have been anything but kind to him. As the story starts, "It was late Saturday afternoon in late April in the last decade of what might as well be the last century..." Joe's fed up with is life and decides to drop out and sever all his relationships. To survive he squats in a dusty abandoned office in the tobacco warehouse district and sets up Dixie Detective Agency. What follows is murder, mayhem, and mystery, with hushpuppies, grits and ice tea along the way. Joe stumbles into corruption in high and low places, and is forced to confront the very problems he was trying so hard to escape."
