Besty has dug into the archives of other South Carolina newspapers to piece together a narrative that is both informative and gripping.Through ten interconnected true-crime stories, her historical account captures a South Carolina county’s most violent decade – a time when bullets felled a mayor, a police chief, and a beloved bookseller, each in separate shocking incidents.
