Duffus, author of the 2007 book Shipwrecks of the Outer Banks - An Illustrated Guide, will dive into some of the most spectacular stories, including rumors of wreckers, the causes for the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and the hundreds of forgotten shipwreck victims buried in the sandy seabed.

In recognition of his achievements in law enforcement, he was presented the Guy Bradley Award by the North American Fish and Wildlife Foundation in 1990 and the Order of the Palmetto by South Carolina governor Carroll Campbell in 1994.

A master of bringing the past alive, Pulitzer Prize winner (March) and international bestseller (Caleb's Crossing), Geraldine Brooks seems able to time travel. Sometimes, reading her work, she draws you so thoroughly into another era that you swear she's actually lived in it. Peeling away the myth to bring the Old Testament's King David to life in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his journey from obscurity to fame, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage. The Secret Chord provides new context for some of the best-known episodes of David's life while also focusing on others that have been neglected. We see David through the eyes of those who love him or fear him - from the prophet Natan, voice of his conscience, to his wives Mikhal, Avigail, and Batsheva, and finally to Solomon, the late-born son who redeems his Lear-like old age. Brooks has an uncanny ability to hear and transform characters from history, and this beautifully written, unvarnished saga of faith, desire, family, ambition, betrayal, and power will enthrall her many fans. $45 (includes book), 843.235.9600.
