The River of Souls by Robert McCammonRead about the other entries on the list.
In 1703, detective Matthew Corbett journeys up the Solstice River in the Carolinas in search of an accused murderer. There he encounters strange settlements steeped in mysticism and eerie stories of a mythical beast hunting humans in the fetid landscape. But nothing will stop Corbett, an intelligent, resourceful, and honor-bound character, from seeing justice done.
Robert McCammon is one of our finest contemporary writers. He has the gift of transporting readers to the settings of his books, in this case to the swamps of the Carolinas in colonial America, where alligators and snakes prowl the dark waters.
