Malcolm Shuman
Dear Librarian, Malcolm Shuman, author of the popular Alan Graham archaeology series, is back with an atmospheric thriller! In THE LEVEE, he relies on his boyhood memories of camping by the Mississippi River. Inspired by a real-life, unsolved 1960 murder, Shuman tells the story of Colin Douglas, who begins to be haunted by his memories of what happened years before when his popular female Spanish teacher was found murdered near the camping spot Colin and three other boys used. Driven by his nightmares, Colin returns to Baton Rouge, the city of his youth, and enlists the help of the only one of his boyhood friends still in town. Then, in a first-person narrative interspersed with flashbacks, Colin sets out to find the truth of the ancient crime. Malcolm Shuman Mndmastr@aol.com
