646. We talk to Dr. Thomas Smith about his series of Red String novels, set in 19th
century Mississippi River and Central Louisiana. His first novel in the series is Just a Piece of Red String: Antebellum Voodoo and Vengeance.
In antebellum Natchez, Mississippi, and the bustling city of New
Orleans, cousins Sawyer Dundee and Solomon Witcher come into manhood,
each charting a dramatically different course. While Sawyer remains in
Natchez to run the family business, the charismatic Solomon seeks his
fortune, chasing legendary buried treasure and trying his luck at cards
in New Orleans.
