Joey Green has returned to Beaufort, South Carolina to look after his ailing father, who is succumbing to dementia. Marshall Green’s short-term memory has all but evaporated, but his oldest memories are vivid. His mind keeps retreating into long-ago yesterdays of growing up in Beaufort as a boy, but Joey grows increasingly anxious as his father’s hallucinatory arguments with figures from his youth begin to hint at deadly secrets, long buried and forgotten. Especially when a murder brings the police to his door… Luckily, there is no shortage of media on the subject, and in pretty much every genre too. Horror, thrillers, comedies — it’s all fair game. Even more intriguing is the nonfiction on the subject: real stories from real people about secrets lurking right under their noses. I especially love podcasts when you get to hear it from the people involved what happened and how they found out. I can’t get enough!
