Lowcountry Boil tells the story of an amazing drug conspiracy similar to one that imprisoned half my friends in the lowcountry during the mid-seventies. I knew more of the fictional characters in this book than in my own novels. Fast-paced, well-written, fasten your seatbelts, boys and girls, this book is hot.

 Lowcountry Boil has it all: richly drawn characters, a sense of place that's as rich and redolent as a morning breeze across the tidal flats, and a plot that unfolds as inexorably as the day moves down to dusk. Murder, insanity, suicide, infidelity, and heroism, too…like the born and bred Southerner he is, Carl T. Smith has made it all gripping and romantic.

 Lowcountry Boil steams with restless energy and a relentless pace, a twisting tale of love and loss, passion and pain, despair and hope. Carl T. Smith writes like an angel about the South he knows and understands, creating compelling characters against the ever fascinating backdrop of the Lowcountry. Readers of James Hall will find a new author to admire in Carl T. Smith.
