Great settings, fun characters, and lots of surprises in a fast paced narration. I could hear the accents, and almost taste the barbecue! What more could you want from a new book set in the South, written by a good storyteller?

Here's the set-up:
In Killing The Blood Cleaner, Dr. Jack Randolph has a golden and riotous
existence as a young society doctor in Atlanta. His world is filled
with sensuous women, private clubs and all the entitlements accorded to
Atlanta’s elite. Such privilege turns his discreetly required
resignation from the Centers for Disease Control into an opportunity for
entry into a lucrative private medical practice. Jack looks forward to
his upcoming trip to the luxurious Cloister Hotel on Sea Island, Georgia
with his lithe fiancé, Annabelle.
On the Coast, two women have beautiful dreams of a more glorious
existence. Cindy Jessup understands Jack’s world and craves to be
released from the web of murder, lies and corruption which is her daily
life in her work with Sheriff Roger Odum. Her real desire is to somehow
find a way to be a lady in Atlanta and Jack could be that ticket. Nurse
Tacy Crandall wonders about her future and shudders at the day she
narrowly missed being raped and murdered by inmate Henry Kirk at the
Georgia Maximum Security Prison in Lester, Georgia. Her friends warn her
she could still end up like the unfortunate female doctor who took her
place that day and urge her to quit and find a job in Atlanta or
Savannah, where there would be men who could fully appreciate her
intelligence and charm.
Judge Augustus Valentino and lawyer, Fitz Davis labor to contain
the political power of Sheriff Odum and to somehow bring an end to the
Sheriffs long running empire of corruption and drug smuggling with
little success. Their efforts have long been stymied by the Sheriff’s
nuanced tactics and the occasional disappearance or deaths of crucial
witnesses. Fitz Davis hopes that his latest informant, Cindy Jessup will
be the key to bringing the Sheriff down.
The Judge and lawyer Davis have also long been involved in a case
concerning Georgia Maximum Security Prison. Over the years, Judge
Valentino has issued Orders that govern every aspect of the operation of
the prison. The Orders are so detailed and the Judge’s supervision so
strict that hardly anything is done by the Warden or other staff without
consulting the Orders or the Judge himself. The Orders are very
specific on the use of force on an inmate to obtain blood samples after a
sexual crime has been committed. The prison is also required to issue
detailed reports as to such uses of force and to maintain a
sophisticated video monitoring system should claims of excessive force
arise.
Sheriff Odum and his second in command, Major Knowles are aware
of Cindy’s betrayal of their organization but have little time to act.
However, thanks to the largesse of the Federal government as a result of
the Sheriff’s political power, they have access to an array of
sophisticated military intelligence devices centered in a secluded
compound on a tidal river. It would be useful to dispose of Cindy in a
way that even Judge Valentino and Fitz Davis would have to admit the
overwhelming evidence of pure accident caused by an outsider...
One Reviewer Notes:
As a rule, Southern writers just seem to naturally have the ability to make the sights and sounds of the South - salt air are off coastal marshes, cypress moss swaying in the breeze, the stifling heat and humidity of a July summer's afternoon, leap off the pages, and Davis Hewitt is no exception to that rule. Add to Davis' commendable descriptive abilities a story line woven with intrigue, tension, uncertainty, and the just the right amount of sex, and you have a very enjoyable tale from a new author. I for one eagerly look forward to Davis's next venture into the storytelling arena.
