Defense Attorney, Jonathan Streeter, with his own troubled past, finds the unlikely help of 10-year-old Bailey Connor while litigating a murder trial which could cost both of their lives.
"A page turner by Catherine Tucker! I zipped through this book in two days because the characters, particularly 10-year-old Bailey Connor, kept calling me back to this story. Readers will find themselves totally immersed in 1970’s rural Mississippi where the cotton is tall, racial prejudice is still strong, and the day-to-day of Black residents lies in the power of a dominant white culture."
-- Cheryl Head, author of the acclaimed Charlie Mack Motown Mystery Series

BIO

Catherine Tucker grew up in the small town of Leland, Mississippi. For amusement, she read the dictionary from cover to cover. But she later discovered a better escape: fiction. As a teenager, she fell in love with all things mystery and never looked back. Catherine’s imagination was nurtured by the Delta’s vast cotton fields, soulful blues, and deep-rooted traditions, which influence her books.
Tall Cotton, Catherine’s debut novel features Washington D.C. attorney Jonathan Streeter and his accidental sidekick ten-year old Bailey Connor, who find themselves immersed in a murder trial where truth and justice may be the beginning of the end for both of them.
When Catherine is not writing, you can find her reading a thriller or binge watching a mystery series. She also enjoys traveling, teaching Bible classes, devouring decadent chocolate, and savoring a steaming cup of coffee. Catherine currently resides in Houston, Texas.
