Crime was not rampant in Piccallili, Mississippi. One murder alone would have caused a sensation, but the second one convinced the denizens of the small rural town that a full blown serial killer was on the loose. The stock market crash of 1929 had not adversely affected the already poor economy to any extent. Six years later, the town was still almost exactly the same as it had been before, only now someone had a secret that necessitated the removal of two of its residents at the same location.

Work in Progress
I have finally posted a blurb from my current Work in Progress and this one even has a name. The town of course, is purely fictional. It is comprised of features native to many small towns in this area. Originally, the founder (fictitious of course) wanted to name it Piccadilly after the famous London Piccadilly, but locals only knew of of Piccallili (which is a type of relish), so the name was changed.
