Lawson's Bluff

Terrorists attempt a multi-million-dollar art heist while America's media distracts the world with graphic stories of Alabama hunters slaughtering hogs with dogs and knives.
As fearless Jack Lawson is about to catch his thousandth boar, journalist Carla Frederick arrives to cover the hunt for the LA World News. Shocked by the "uncivilized" Alabamians with their bulldogs and razor-sharp knives, Frederick writes a grotesque, biased story about Jack that goes viral.
Belatedly, she discovers the deeper story-deeper and darker than she could have ever known. Barganier has written an unlikely love story wrapped in twisting suspense.
