Death Among The Mangroves (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
They came up with two people who had seen Gillispie and Stider together. By Monday morning Troy had lost most of his volunteer searchers as they went back to work or just got sick of it, but they had looked every place a person could be on the several islands that made up the town of Mangrove Bayou. He had Lee Bell and two men from the volunteer fire department up at first light to fly a larger circle than the sheriff’s helicopter had done. It wasn’t likely they would see anything among the mangroves but they could be effective over the inland marsh. By eight a.m. there were three television trucks parked in front of the station door on Connecticut Avenue and a half-dozen reporters milling in the lobby, each demanding to speak to him one-on-one. The dispatcher and receptionist, June Dundee, didn’t work Mondays so Troy had Bubba Johns keeping reporters herded together and not wandering around the station. Bubba was two inches shorter than Troy’s six feet but thicker. He had taken over the station temporarily when the town council fired the previous chief, and had been happy to hand the job over to Troy.
