Swallow Savannah: A South Carolina Story
Clean prose. Deep slime. Ooze and ahs for Ken Burger's riveting tale hewed from the backwoods and back rooms of a South Carolina he knows down deep. --GARY SMITH, senior writer atSports Illustratedand author ofGoing DeepKen Burger has long been my favorite sports columnist and now has written a humdinger of a novel! It's got politics, treachery, rotten politicians and a swift moving plot. I think Mr. Burger is the first South Carolina novelist to explore the Savannah River country around Allendale and the bomb plant and he does it exceedingly well! --PAT CONROY, author ofThe Prince of TidesI couldn't putSwallow Savannahdown. The author is a legendary Southern Sports writer who has woven 30 years of South Carolinas unreported stories into a modern southern gem of a novel.There are some fascinating subplots to this highly entertaining but complex tapestry of small town South Carolina. There's even a cameo appearance by Mickey Spillane - whose cold war hard boiled detective novels is echoed throughout this who-dunnit which is all the more powerful and devastating because there is no investigator. --reader review
