The Author
Jon Sealy is the author of the Detective Luke Steele series, Southern crime novels set in the fictional town of Issaqueena, South Carolina — “the last small town in America.”
“He scrambled from the creek, dressed and hurried along the river south, carrying nothing with him but the night and the approaching storm and years worth of memories that he wished he could bury in the hardscrabble land of red clay.”
