Miss Susie has been a fixture in Southport, N.C. for many years. When she is chosen to be the Marshall for the N.C. 4th of July Festival parade she finds herself smack dab in the center of a murder mystery only she can solve. Runner up only to Mayberry as the best small town in the USA, Southport, NC is populated by interesting characters who made the little waterfront town what it was in the past and what it remains today. Located at Cape Fear, 35 miles SE of Wilmington, Southport has been featured in many movies and television shows including the Matlock series, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Crimes of the Heart, and (currently) Nicholas Sparks' SAFE HARBOR now being filmed at the Southport Yacht Basin. First in a series of history and genealogy mysteries based in Southport and Brunswick Co. North Carolina.
