A series of interlocking stories surrounding the lives of two brothers, Eli and Walker Atkins, living in Charleston, South Carolina. In Blood in the Low Country, the first of the Atkins Family Low Country sagas, readers meet Monty and Rose Atkins and their two boys, Eli and Walker. Monty and Rose are living the American dream but lies kept buried for years surface and explode in such fashion as to forever change the trajectory of the lives of these two young men when a brutal murder turns their worlds upside down.

In Eli’s Redemption, the second book in the series, readers watch how Eli deals with the dramatic, life-upending events of Blood in the Low Country.  Forced to flee to the Bahamas, Eli assumes a false identity until he’s able to free himself from the clutches of a professional criminal and clear his name.

In Blood Rivalry, Eli and Walker are married with families and living in Charleston each with a successful career. The story of the murder in the first book in the series has grown into mythical proportions and the weight of the shadow it casts has driven a wedge between Eli and Walker. But when Walker’s representation of several clients unearths secrets about the Governor of South Carolina, one Johnny Dunsmore, Eli and Walker come together in a race that will end either their lives or the career of Johnny Dunsmore.

Throughout this series, readers will encounter a cast of fascinating characters, some taken from the pages of history and others from Attaway’s own memories and life experiences, characters you are sure you’ve met, characters who make life rich and wonderful and, at times, dangerous. But through it all, a common theme emerges – the challenges to and joys of living free.

Readers who enjoy books based in the American South, and Charleston, SC in particular, will be drawn to the rich Southern setting and Paul Attaway’s love for the local culture.
