Rob Baldwin is the middle-aged, middle-class owner-operator of a small-town radio station in Louisiana.
That means he anchors a daily talk show, sells advertising, manages a small staff — and vacuums the offices on weekends.
Sherry LeVasseur is a media-buyer for an advertising agency in Baton Rouge purchasing commercial airtime from Rob’s station, and dozens of others throughout the state, for a popular riverboat casino.
When a mutual friend is murdered in the middle of a muddy swamp, Baldwin and LeVasseur uncover a wide-ranging and deadly conspiracy: a scheme to manipulate the licensing of New Orleans’ newest tourist attraction — the world’s largest casino.
It’s a swamp water suspense novel — part political thriller and part atmospheric, page-turning suspense thriller. Book #1 in the Kingfish corruption series.
