Shadows Over Lowell

Tall Cotton...Where secrets are buried deep.

Defense Attorney, Jonathan Streeter, with his own troubled past, finds the unlikely help of 10-year-old Bailey Connor while litigating a murder trial which could cost both of their lives.

"A page turner by Catherine Tucker! I zipped through this book in two days because the characters, particularly 10-year-old Bailey Connor, kept calling me back to this story. Readers will find themselves totally immersed in 1970’s rural Mississippi where the cotton is tall, racial prejudice is still strong, and the day-to-day of Black residents lies in the power of a dominant white culture." 

—Cheryl Head, author of the acclaimed Charlie Mack Motown Mystery Series
