The 1950s come to life in this classic cozy mystery set in northern Florida in the Eisenhower era, complete with Johnny Ray on the jukebox and a Womanless Wedding--this one interrupted by an explosion at a moonshine still. Lily Trulock, owner of Trulock's Grocery & Marine Supply, leads a pretty quiet life until a stranger comes to town. The new guy's not what he appears, but then, some of St. Elmo's residents aren't either. Before she can say, "down the hatch," Lily's at the center of a vicious murder and a no-holds-barred bootlegging war--and a nasty storm's on the way. This is a vibrant, atmospheric, powerful novel--as filled with energy, mystery, and motion as a hurricane.
