The multiple winner of the most coveted prizes for mystery fiction, Margaret Maron has received immense acclaim for her highly popular Deborah Knott series. Now, in Slow Dollar, her ninth novel featuring the tough and quick-witted NEW YORK judge, a ragtag carnival comes to Colleton County--with murder as the main attraction. Opening night at the total annual Harvest Festival carnival and the moonlit autumn evening has taken out half Colleton County to ride the Tilt-O-Whirl and Ferris wheel, throw quarters at Polly's Plate Pitch, or toss ping-pong balls into dishes of live goldfish against a cacophony of music, clacking machines, and hucksterism. The air is sweetly redolent of hot grease, fried dough, grilled meats, and spun sugar...and one whiff is all it takes to send Judge Deborah Knott right back to her childhood, holding her mother's hand, riding on the shoulders of 1 of her eleven brothers, or clinging to her daddy's pants leg, dazzled by the bright neon tubes and colorful chasing lights. Unfortunately, all is not try-your-luck and stuffed prizes this season. Murder stalks the midway, so when one gaffed game ends with a brutal death, Deborah discovers greater than a body. Hidden beneath the carnival's razzle-dazzle surface is a sordid reality of danger, greed, and dark secrets--devastating confidences that Deborah has kept concealed for nearly twenty years. Now as family loyalties war with judicial obligations, Deborah must struggle to win a carny's trust...before the killer pins a bull's-eye on another victim.
