When two young boys, Buckshot and Pooty Barnhill, 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 lead him to one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in the State of Alabama, Dr. John Blue and his beautiful wife, Marie. The Blues have secrets. Deep, dark secrets! As the Blues' secrets unfold, J. B. 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.

Lloyd Albritton grew up in the rural farm and timber community of Nokomis, Florida. He and his wife, Anita Gwen, currently live in Atmore, Alabama, which is situated approximately five miles northeast of Nokomis. These southern locales are the setting for Lloyd's first novel, Baby Blue, a fictional story of murder and family tragedy in the year of 1951. Lloyd has been a prolific storyteller and writer for most of his life. His stories are often constructed around the colorful "characters" he knew during his years in Nokomis. Lloyd's next book is a compilation of short stories, many of them depicting his early life in Nokomis. More of the same colorful characters from Lloyd's past are featured in these stories. Some will bring a tear to your eye while others will make you laugh out loud. Lloyd has made his second book especially interesting by introducing each story with a poem which gives the reader a clever and witty overview of what is to come. Like Garrison Keillor and Will Rogers, Lloyd's storytelling ability translates well into the written word.
