Lowcountry lawyer, author to make book tour stop in Spartanburg
Caroline Cleveland, a labor and employment lawyer based in Charleston, will make a stop at Hub City Bookshop in Spartanburg to support her debut novel “When Cicadas Cry.”. Building on an idea from nearly a decade ago, Cleveland crafted the story of South Carolina lawyer Zach Strander and Addie Stone, his detective and lover. The novel follows two separate homicide cases, one set in 2017 while the other occurred 34 years earlier. In 2017, Strander is serving as defense counsel to Sam Jenkins, a man accused of bludgeoning a white woman to death with an altar cross in a rural church on Cicada Road in Walterboro. As Strander deals with the trial, Stone investigates a cold case, a 1983 double homicide on Edisto Beach. As the book progresses, Strander’s and Stone’s cases seem to connect and the killer infiltrates their inner circle.
