Who would know better spots to fish than a game warden? Cliff Palmer grew up working a farm in Georgia with his father, joined the Civilian Conservation Corps in Washington state as a teenager, then was drafted and fought in Italy during World War II. After the war, he served as a wildlife ranger with Georgia Game and Fish Commission for thirty years. These are his stories. Margo Palmer’s interest in writing dates back to her college years at Harvard where she studied writing with Memphis poet Richard Tillinghast. She taught for thirty years in Gwinnett County (Georgia) Public Schools, turning to writing after retirement. She interviewed Cliff Palmer during his lifetime to document the savor of rural Georgia’s language and culture in his biography. She and her husband live on a 62-acre farm in Barrow County, Georgia, and are parents to three and grandparents of ten children.

The steadfast and sturdy Continental Op has been summoned to the town of Personville—known as Poisonville—a dusty mining community splintered by competing factions of gangsters and petty criminals. The Op has been hired by Donald Willsson, publisher of the local newspaper, who gave little indication about the reason for the visit. No sooner does the Op arrive, than the body count begins to climb . . . starting with his client. With this last honest citizen of Poisonville murdered, the Op decides to stay on and force a reckoning—even if that means taking on an entire town. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.
