The Lake Murray Murders - Paperback

by Steven A. Jacobs (Author)

In 1990, the sleepy community of Lexington, South Carolina, was rocked by the brutal slaying of a man found floating in a small boat one morning in nearby Lake Murray. Police identified the man as Jonathon Blackwood from a middle-class family in Lexington. While the investigation unfolded, the community held its breath, waiting to see who could have done such a terrible deed. Sadly, after several months of investigating the trail went cold, and the perpetrator was never caught.

After the murder, rumors swirled throughout the county about a land deal gone bad and who could have been behind Jonathon's killing. Everyone seemed to have their own opinion about who did it and why. Still, everyone agreed on one thing: someone in the affluential Harrington family had something to do with it.

Time moved on, and over the years, the Blackwood murder was all but forgotten ... until it happened again. This time, the body of a young woman was found in an eerily similar way as Jonathon Blackwood's body was found. This time, Lexington County detectives had a clue that would get them closer than ever to solving the case that has haunted the community for thirty-three years and, once and for all, put a name to ... Erebus, a prolific international art thief who vanished after a string of thefts in the 1960s.
