WAY DEAD UPON THE SUWANNEE RIVER

Way DEAD Upon the Suwannee River is a dark descent into the underbelly of a small Southern town where mob mentality, cocaine murders, and monsters lurk in the swampy woods surrounding the great Suwannee River. Southern charm and religious values are practically currency, and townsfolk die of natural causes, not murder.

Until now.

The infiltration of the Real U.S.A. (The United Survivalist Army) on the banks of the Suwannee escalates violence to a level that has the potential to change the sleepy town of Whitecross, Florida forever.

But over the Women’s Preservation Club’s dead bodies.

Reminiscent of The Help and Fried Green Tomatoes with a twist of True Detective, this offbeat, fast-paced mystery blends humor, dark plot, and quirky characters—keeping you on the edge of your seat or making you fall out of it laughing as it witnesses beauty and brutality in a small Southern town, twisting, turning, and teasing to the surface one suspicion, one misunderstanding, and one murder at a time.
