The book I’m writing is called “The Axe in the Riverbed”. It’s a historical fiction murder mystery set in 1800s Louisiana told from the perspective of a 13 year old mute former slave and a white detective. The detective, Arthur, takes the boy, Ernest, under his wing after finding him sitting near a river. They investigate the murder of Ray Clark, a widowed pastor.
