David Burnsworth Launch Party     

Greenville, SC, February 3, 2014 - South Carolina author David Burnsworth invites you to celebrate the launch of his debut mystery novel, Southern Heat (Five Star Publishing, hardcover, $25.95), at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, March 1st from 3 - 5 pm. This event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served.

 

Gunshots echo down an antebellum Charleston alley. Brack Pelton, an ex-racecar driver and Afghanistan War veteran, witnesses the murder of his uncle, Reggie Sails. Darcy Wells, the pretty Palmetto Pulse reporter, investigates Reggie's murder and targets Brack.

 


The sole heir of his uncle's estate, Brack receives a rundown bar called the Pirate's Cove, a rotting beach house, and one hundred acres of preserved and valuable wetland along the Ashley River. A member of Charleston's wealthiest and oldest families offers Brack four million dollars for the land. All Brack wants is his uncle's killer.

From the sandy beaches of Isle of Palms, through the nineteenth-century mansions lining the historic Battery, to the marshlands surrounding the county, Southern Heat is drenched in the humidity of the lowcountry.

Note: Southern Heat is one of Fiction Addiction's March staff picks, recommended by our mystery reader, Nancy M.! Here's what she says about it: I loved Brack's attitude and his sarcasm, I loved the characters that he teamed up with, I loved the setting, and I loved the story. I hope this isn't the last we see of Brack Pelton and Pirate's Cove.
 

About the author:


David Burnsworth became fascinated with the Deep South at a young age. After a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of  Tennessee and fifteen years in the corporate world, he made the decision to write a novel. Southern Heat is his first mystery. Having lived in Charleston on Sullivan's Island for five years, the setting was a foregone conclusion. He and his wife along with their dog call South Carolina home.
