Intersting NC-Set novel is out now

I lost this initial entry, which was very frustrating. But, I strongly believe in finishing what I started.

 

There is a great locally-produced public-tv show in NC called "NC Bookwatch." This week's show, which reairs- alas only in NC, at 5 pm on Sun. profiled "Grievances," a novel about an unsolved murder of an African-American youth which happened 30 years ago in SC. The story revolves around a Charlotte newspaper reporter, Matt Harper, who stumbles upon this story and decides to investigate it over his editor's objections. The author Mark Ethridge was a reporter for "The Charlotte Observer." While there, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his work investigating Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. Other "NC Bookawatch" titles include Tom Carlson's non-fictional book "Hatteras Blues," which looks at how NC's Outer Banks are undergoing a surprisingly hard economic turning point.
