Overview

The Shady Side of the Lowcountry South Carolina's Lowcountry is a picturesque location for vacations and fun, but it comes with a sinister side. Bootleggers in Hell Hole Swamp supplied illegal liquor to Al Capone, while a local man became one of the FBI's most famous crimefighters. A murder mystery was solved on a gravestone. Tales feature a spree killer, serial killers, poisoners (and a man who could cure poisoning), love triangles gone wrong and a swamp creature called Lizard Man. Crime writer Cathy Pickens brings a novelist's eye to the crime stories that define the sinister--and quirky--side of the Lowcountry.
