De Castrique's well-crafted fourth mystery (after 2011's The Sandburg Connection) featuring Ashville, N.C., PI Sam Blackman and partner/lover Nakayla Robertson explores America's past history of racial segregation. Sam, on a mushroom hunt with members of the Blue Ridge Mushroom Club, stumbles into a rotten log and discovers a skeleton inside. Called to the scene, Henderson County Deputy Sidney Overcash finds a rifle slug nearby. Meanwhile, a new client, Marsha Montgomery, hires Sam and Nakayla to investigate a very cold caseâthe 1967 theft of a photograph of the Kingdom of the Happy Land, a 19th-century community of former slaves, founded on the site where the skeleton was found. The mystery proves to involve the interracial, and then illegal, romance between Martha's mother, Lucille Montgomery, and the long-missing Jimmy Lang. This solid whodunit offers readers a glimpse into a curious chapter of cultural history. Agent: Linda Allen, Linda Allen Literary Agency.



AudioFile Magazine
William Dufris comfortably portrays the many fascinating characters in the fourth Sam Blackman mystery, set in the 1960s. In Asheville, North Carolina, the Blackman & Robertson Detective Agency has no clients, and inactivity makes Sam fidgety. Then Marsha Montgomery asks Sam and his partner to investigate a burglary at her mother's home. Someone stole a rifle and a photograph of Marsha's mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, taken in 1932 by renowned photographer Doris Ulmann. Dufris uses tone, volume, and pacing to dramatize characters' emotional issues as well as racial and marital tensions. A veil of deceit hides a desperate killer's need to protect a family secret. Listeners will be intrigued by Sam's discoveries as the plot unwinds. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
