In 1986, Kip Drummond rescued a sentimental landmark - the Lady's Island Oyster Factory - in Beaufort, South Carolina. Six years later he battles corporate greed and Gullah traditions overshadowed by a hex revealed by a tarot reader. Haint Blue lures the reader into the pluff mud and out of the Lowcountry marshes in a compelling story of passion, grisly violence, guilt, forgiveness and hope.
