Carter\u2019s MUDDY WATERS is an exceptional first mystery. It is well plotted, suspenseful, and rich in detail and imagery. Her protagonist, Henry \u201cWhispering\u201d Smith is more than just likable. He\u2019s smart, dogged, and unusually talented at following the dangerous trail that leads him through this excellent novel.\u2013Sasscer Hill, multiple award winning author of FLAMINGO ROAD<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

WHO SAYS YOU CAN\u2019T GO HOME?<\/h3>\n

Henry \u201cWhispering\u201d Smith returns to his North Carolina home after years of tracking livestock rustlers in the desolate Colorado Plateau country.

When police are reluctant to believe him, he uses his knowledge as a range detective to bring a killer to justice. While struggling to reconcile his past, Henry follows a trail that leads uncomfortably close to his heart.<\/p>\n
