The Barnett Lowery Murder Mysteries are Robert Peecher’s departure from the Old West into modern-day Southern crime fiction. The series follows Barnett Lowery, a former Secret Service agent dragged back to his rural Georgia hometown of Aintry County to help the District Attorney prosecute the local Dixie Mafia. What starts as a straightforward assignment turns into a string of murders, cover-ups, and old grudges that reach into every corner of the county.
Peecher describes the books as “deep-fried Southern justice” novels, and readers who enjoy Elmore Leonard or Justified will find familiar ground here. The first three books, Under the Dixie Moon, Deep in the Dixie Clay, and The Devil in Dixie, were published together as a trilogy in 2023. The series has continued with four more entries, the latest being Hard Times Up in Aintry in 2026, as Lowery digs deeper into the tangled criminal networks running through Dixie.
