About Blood In The Low Country
Product Description Step back in time a bit. The year is 1973, and by all appearances, Monty Atkins has a wonderful life. Along with his wife, Rose, the girl of his dreams he met in college, they are raising two boys, Eli and Walker. Humble but competitive, Monty is slowly but steadily building a profitable and well-respected law practice in beautiful Charleston, SC. His hard work, steeped in a deeply engrained Protestant work ethic, is paying dividends in the form of a second home on Kiawah Island and membership in the exclusive Wappoo Country Club.Rose, an aspiring socialite, chairs committees and works tirelessly for her church and the school their boys attend. So, yes, Monty Atkins has a wonderful life, until he doesn’t. In a flash, everything changes when a brutal murder and a shocking betrayal turn their world upside down. Brewing beneath the surface lurks a conspiracy of lies about who they are and what they believe. The wellspring of deception and ensuing dysfunction that threaten to destroy all they have built is Rose’s past, a past she can’t outrun. In the hunt for the killer, Monty draws the ire of one of Charleston’s most prominent businessmen, who sets out to destroy him. Monty now faces a multi-front battle, one to save his family, one to save his business and one to save his life. Step back in time and immerse yourself in a taut, tension-filled thriller where the genteel veneer of life in the South lived by those for whom Sunday Bruch at the Club is as holy as that morning’s church service is stripped away.

The best of Southern writing is invariably family saga. And in the hands of Southern writers this combination takes shape in family secrets, both those we harbor successfully, and those we just can't. Paul Attaway's debut novel Blood in the Low Country is much in this fine Southern tradition. While set in Charleston and in the South beyond, it is actually set in a landscape where you ignore the past at your own peril, as Attaway's protagonist Monty Atkins learns the hard way." -- Jay Boyer, Professor Emeritus, Creative Writing Program, Arizona State University, Author and Playwright "Aspiring southern socialite Rose Atkins adores her adolescent son Walker -- but views older son Eli with contempt. Try as he may, good-hearted dad Monty can't keep his family's dysfunction from spiraling out of control. The result is an emotional psychological drama, a compelling murder plot, and enough twists and turns to keep us riveted." -- David Aretha, award-winning author and editor "Paul Attaway's novel, Blood in the Low Country, is nearly flawless. His smooth, crisp writing style, richly layered characters, and superbly constr
