Local Author To Hold Book Signing Today At Molino Library
May 11, 2013
The Molino Branch Library will host a book signing with local author Lloyd Albritton today from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. He will be signing copies of his new book “Baby Blue”, which will be on sale for $20.
Albritton grew up in Nokomis, Fla., and currently lives in Atmore. Both locations are the setting for Albritton’s first novel.
Baby Blue Description
When two young boys stumble upon the gruesome, headless corpse of a young white man in the woods of Nokomis, local Deputy Sheriff J. B. Coon, a farmer and part-time deputy, is summoned to investigate. Deputy Coon quickly targets a suspect in Manse Mobley, a mysterious old Negro moonshiner who rides a magnificent stallion and carries a shotgun.
The bigger question, however, is why! Even as his boss pushes him to close the case unsolved as just another shootout between two unimportant country hooligans fighting over a bottle of whiskey, J. B. suspects more. His curiosity and subsequent investigation leads him to one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in the State of Alabama, Dr. John Blue and his wife, Marie. The Blues have secrets. Deep, dark secrets!
As the Blues’ secrets unfold, Deputy Coon begins to wish he had listened to his boss and left that door closed, but once he has crossed the threshold of truth, there is no turning back. Other lives must now be destroyed. And J. B. Coon may be one of them.

Yes.

Congratulations Mr Albritton!! May you write many more good reads.
It sounds like an interesting story.
I would have included the drowning murder of a young man in the swimming pool of the Atmore Country Club, the old swimming pool.
Fiction and History often walk hand in hand, or is it the other way around?
very good book I enjoyed reading it.
