Author G.W. Reynolds intimately knows every dusty corner and all the peculiarities of this richly textured Southern hamlet first introduced in his debut novel, "Jetty Man." "Mullet Run" continues the exploration of dark psychological themes of racism, and the effects of poverty and ignorance on an isolated community. He brings his riveting story into sharp focus through dramatic storytelling and finely drawn characterizations.

Mayport appears to be a quaint fishing village nestled on the Florida coast. The huge oak tree that spreads its branches over the town completes the pretty picture. But the scene is a deceptive one; a malevolent breeze emanates from the tree's gently rustling leaves breathing corruption and discontent through every window screen in each house of the impoverished, racially divided community.
Jason and his mother, Mary C., have lived in Mayport all their lives and long struggled against the sinister forces that touch the lives of all who reside there. When a decomposing body is found deep in the woods, Mary C., a woman of predatory sensuality, finds herself at the center of another murder investigation-it seems that Mary C. was the last person seen in the company of the dead man before his disappearance some months before. Jason has fallen in love with Jessie, but when the interracial couple meets with outraged disapproval from the townspeople, they plan their departure. Knowing nothing about the world beyond Mayport, the hopeful young couple's journey becomes an odyssey of discovery and an initiation into a life they had never imagined.
