Memphis Mysteries Anthology | Book 4
Memphis, Tennessee is famous for its barbecue. The annual Memphis in May barbecue cook-off along the river generates so much smoke from grills it seems the Mississippi is ablaze. The origins of Memphis barbecue have long been a question.
In “The First Barbecue in Memphis”, one of the short stories in the latest anthology from Malice in Memphis, an old huckster in Tom Lee Park claims Hernando De Soto had the first barbecue in Memphis . He clashes with a history professor grieving the loss of his only son—and someone dies. The murderer seeks to repent—which every good churchgoer knows means to turn your life around and go in another direction. Mayhem in Memphis is the fourth in a series of anthologies from Malice in Memphis, a mystery writers club. Available in hard copy or Kindle versions. |
