Dead Low Water

A Work of Fiction Based on Real Events

The red and white striped Harbour Town lighthouse is an internationally recognized symbol of the good life on Hilton Head Island. But it’s not a real lighthouse, it’s plywood and paint like a movie set, built to sell real estate, not to guide ships.

And the good life is not always so good. When the owners of the Harbour Town marina turn up missing, two cops go rogue trying to find them and uncover a vast and seething criminal conspiracy, embezzlement, smuggling and murder.

Roger Pinckney is an award-winning essayist and journalist, the author of fifteen books about the Carolina Lowcountry, including The Mullet Manifesto and Crying in the Wilderness, both from River’s Edge Media.
