HARD KILLIN' FLOOR - A SOUTHERN GOTHIC NOIR NOVEL

Hard Killin' Floor, Romer Shaw, 1805 PUBLISHING, Southern Gothic Noir

AVAILABLE  DECEMBER, 2025.

 

Zee Blackwell has made a name for himself in the Delta—a name that carries weight in the backrooms and shadows of Mississippi. He’s not just another colored man with a badge and a bluff. He’s the one you call when things get real quiet…and real wrong.


When a well-dressed black man turns up shot dead outside Red’s Joint—face down in the dirt beneath a blood moon—the sheriff don’t ask questions. Just another nobody with bad luck and worse timing. But when Zee’s offered Memphis money to look deeper, the nobody becomes somebody. And the white woman seen leaving the juke joint in a daze? She’s Hazel Rae Merrick—heiress, debutante, and trouble from her auburn curls to her blood-soaked shoes.


Zee doesn’t trust Hazel. Doesn’t trust the job. But he’s got a weakness for buried truths…and broken women. With Reggie “Turbo” Collins riding shotgun and a storm rising in the Delta, Zee follows the blood trail from Clarksdale to Memphis and back again. What he finds will burn hotter than the killin' floor and cut deeper than bone.


This is the fifth book in the Zee Blackwell Series
