Lawson’s Bluff

(Suspense Fiction) March 2021

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.

Reader Previews of Lawson’s Bluff:

I finished your book. I LOVED it!!! You did an excellent job weaving your story with the things that really matter. The Spiritual elements that filled your book were incredible. As a female reader, I normally prefer stories about women, but you had me fully engulfed. You had the perfect mixture of mystery and a touch of a love story to keep my attention for the duration of the book. Excellent work!
