Cole Mouzon #1
The Trees Beyond the Grass
Cole Mouzon exists to the outside world as a successful lawyer, loyal son and brother – all unaware of his private turmoil and the mental wall that holds him together. But, during a visit back home to Charleston, he receives a call from the FBI that a stranger has been found poisoned and mutilated. What Cole learns next threatens to bring down the wall and expose him to the sharp emotions behind it when he is told that there is more to his childhood nightmares than just dark places. Betrayed by his memory, the clue to his past and his ultimate survival rests in a stranger, Cash Calhoun, a man he has never met but has been tied to his entire life. Together, they embark on a hunt to find the truth held in the dark shadows of Cole’s mind and the marshy landscape of the Holy City before a hunter from Cole’s past destroys their newly discovered bond and their lives.
Steeped in southern drawl and suspense, THE TREES BEYOND THE GRASS, the first in the Cole Mouzon thriller series, is a riveting story about the amazing, but sometimes destructive, power of our minds to protect us from the evils of life, while undermining our ability to discover true happiness.
Look for book two of the Cole Mouzon series, WHEN ASPENS QUAKE, coming Spring 2014.

About the author
Robert Reeves
111 books38 followersRobert Reeves was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. He writes about the South he grew up in — its manners, its silences, and the parts of its history that never made the papers.
He is the author of the Cole Mouzon thrillers, THE TREES BEYOND THE GRASS and WHEN ASPENS QUAKE, both set in the Lowcountry. Readers have described Charleston in those books as a character in its own right, which is the compliment he would have asked for if he had been allowed to choose. The final book in the series, BLOOD PINES, will be released in late 2026.
His upcoming novel, GOOD PEOPLE, returns to Charleston in 1958. It is built on the record of a real murder trial — a man beaten to death in his own front room and on the one witness that record never had.
Other projects he is working on include: a spy-mancy 4-book series, the first book releasing in 2026, a docu-comedy stand-alone novel, and a YA fantasy series.
He attended school in the Northeast, spent a year in Washington and ten years in Atlanta, and now practices law in Denver, where he lives with his son and Irish setter.
