Press release:
Join us on Saturday, November 14 at 3:00 pm as we welcome North Carolina author, Mark De Castrique. Mark will be reading from his newest novel in the Sam Blackman mystery series, A Specter of Justice.
When private detective Sam Blackman agrees to help his partner and lover, Nakayla Robertson, conduct a fundraiser for orphaned twin boys, he does so to ease his conscience. The boys’ parents were killed in a courtroom shootout where Sam was the key witness against the twins’ father. The charity event, a night-time ghost tour of the legendary haunted sites of Asheville, North Carolina, seems harmless enough. Sam only has to tell the story of a grief-stricken woman who hanged herself from an old, arched stone bridge. ‘Helen, come forth,’ he cries. Sam and his tour-goers expect the actress playing Helen’s ghost to walk toward them from the bridge’s dark recesses. Instead, her body tumbles from overhead and dangles at the end of a noose
