Blue Heron Marsh is a novel of mystery and suspense set in the Albemarle Sound and Outer Banks areas of northeast North Carolina. The murder by hanging of a black man by white students from a local prep school in Carthage, North Carolina is covered up. Forty years later, the last of the students involved is found murdered in a similar manner. Webb Sawyer, recently discharged from a U. S. Army psychiatric hospital, is unwittingly drawn into the investigation.
Blue Heron Marsh is a story of revenge, greed, the search for personal ethics and the real meaning of the words truth and justice. Webb Sawyer believes that a young girl is wrongfully charged with the murder. His search for the truth takes him throughout the state of North Carolina and to four other victims, ultimately bringing him back to Elizabeth City and the man he believes is the killer. When Webb finds out the truth, he is at a loss about what to do. Along the way, the reader experiences Webb’s failing relationships with women and learns about fishing techniques in the marshes, sounds and surf, recipes for fish and seafood dishes, Negro League baseball cards and memorabilia collections.
