Murder: With a Grain of Salt Serial

September 10, 2018 By Eric Douglas

In October, I will be releasing a serial story called Murder: With a Grain of Salt. This is a period story, set in 1855 in what was then Charleston, Virginia. The story involves murder, horse chases and river boats along with the burgeoning salt industry.

It will be delivered to your email inbox on October 2, 9, 16 and 23. 

If you already receive monthly emails from me, you will still need to sign up for this special list. I don’t want to send out weekly emails to anyone who isn’t interested. 

Murder: With a Grain of Salt

When an upstanding citizen is murdered on the streets of pre-civil war Charleston, Virginia, the wealthy salt barons who control the town are the main suspects. It’s up to newspaperman Reed Donahue to solve the mystery, but someone is trying to stop him from finding out the truth. Will he become the next victim?
