Peter Loewer, renowned author of more than two dozen horticultural and gardening books and host of the radio show “The Wild Gardener,” will debut his new novel, The Last of the Swindlers, on May 25, 2021. The book is the 25th release from Pisgah Press, LLC, since its founding in 2011.
Unlike his many previous books, The Last of the Swindlers is a retro murder mystery, set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina in 1978. Earlier in his life, Loewer himself worked as the editor of a small-town newspaper, and he drew on his experiences there to create the novel.
