Book Excerpt

Dalton and Grace

It turns out Brevard’s last name is the same as a familiar street in downtown Charleston, a sure sign his roots are deep and his people haven’t strayed far from the peninsula. Toogie met him at bridge club. He is a widower, lives in a large, historic house downtown, has family who now live “off,” drives a little silver convertible sports car, and is reputed to have a small fortune as well as a healthy mane of white hair.

After I was let in on the secret, Grace wanted to talk about little else.
