Levi Motley is an aimless rambler fleeing his latest personal tragedy. Moussa Diab is a spiritual pilgrim journeying to a Trappist monastery. When Levi spots Moussa hitchhiking down a rural Kentucky highway, their lives become ensnared in a decades-old mystery unfolding in the bourbon capital of the world, Bardstown.
Levi delivers the young pilgrim to his destination. Three days later, Moussa's body is discovered on a nearby riverbank. Within twenty-four hours, a local man confesses to the killing.
But he's lying.
Why?
Because small towns hold dark secrets. This secret draws Levi into a perilous confrontation with an amorphous power bent on concealing the truth. If Levi can uncover the secret and check that power, then he will reconcile the wounds of his troubled past and discover what really happened to Moussa Diab out there in the elusive Great Meadows.
But the thing about dark secrets is...they're meant to remain untold.
The Great Meadows is a captivating mystery woven into the southern fabric of the Bluegrass State, a place replete with natural beauty and a complex history that informs the hearts and minds of its people. This compelling novel combines the propulsive elements of popular suspense with the expansive themes of literary fiction. Sophisticated and meticulously crafted, this story of dark secrets and festering family wounds is replete with a host of unforgettable characters on a quest for a truth that will transform the characters and reader, alike. By the time this long-sought-after truth is revealed, the reader will feel entertained and inspired while yearning for yet another journey through the mysterious Great Meadows of Kentucky.
