Graveyard Fields

Graveyard Fields is the first person account of Davis Reed, a former Charleston, South Carolina police officer and private detective who has moved to a small cabin in Cruso, North Carolina to try his hand at writing nonfiction. Davis has a laundry list of dysfunctions and spends most of his days popping Xanax, drinking copious amounts of home brewed beer, and not writing a book. But when he finds a set of keys on a mountain trail he becomes curious, then obsessed, about finding the rightful owner.
With the help of his friend Dale Johnson, a 275 pound local deputy who is as ornery as he is clever, Davis works to uncover the mystery of the keys while navigating a world of small town secrets, bizarre characters, and murder. But Davis has his own secrets and even though he's fled to the mountains some bad business in Charleston is beginning to catch up with him. For an anxiety riddled man looking for peace and quiet Davis somehow stumbles into more chaos and crossfire than any amount of beer and pills can alleviate.
