Morris Drummond is broke, heartbroken, and driving ride-share in his mom’s rusty Chevy when a secret she left behind explodes his life. Suddenly he’s caught between killers, buried family betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay dead—armed only with a snarky sense of humor, his lawyer best friend, and a talent for bad decisions.

Ideal for fans of quirky, character-driven indie mysteries and offbeat thrillers looking for their next bingeable read on Kindle.

Publisher Description:

Morris Drummond is not at his best. Well, he hasn't been at his best for a while now. But having just suffered two crushing losses, he's almost at rock bottom, which for him means driving ride-share in his mom's beat up Chevy, drowning his sorrows in tacos and spray cheese, and avoiding anything related to ambition, self-care, or laundry.Morris is about to learn that he didn't even know what rock bottom looked like, and it's all thanks to his mom. A secret she left behind comes to light, and that brings down a lot of unwanted attention on Morris, the kind that looks likely to send him either to prison or to the hereafter. Blood and treachery from long ago rise to the surface, and Morris has only his lawyer Annie, who's an old high school friend, and a few unexpected allies to call on as he tries to figure out what his mom was up to and why so many people want him out of the picture.A humorous mystery with elements of suspense and thrillers, What Grows From the Deadis set in present-day small-town North Carolina, not far from the mysterious Uwharrie Forest.Content warnings: Coarse language throughout; some gun violence (not graphic).
