A delightfully retro murder mystery. Set in the Blue Ridge mountain town of Fernglade, NC in the late 1970s, The Last of the Swindlers follows NY book editor Oliver Swindler as he returns to his home town as editor of the local newspaper. Within a day of his arrival, murder, fraud, deceit, and corruption begin to appear, and as soon as Oliver begins to solve one mystery, another layer of crime emerges. Author Peter Loewer is renowned for his The Wild Gardener series of books, and he brings his erudition and wit to this garden of mysterious delights.

When the sun sets, the night comes alive. As the moon shimmers down, bats swoop, hawkmoths flit, owls hunt, and the moonflower unfurls for its one night in the moonlight. In this lyrical yet accurate account of nature at night, readers will learn how moths drink, how bats "see," how bumblebees sleep, how vines climb, and even how to plant your own moonflower. Husband and wife Peter and Jean Loewer are writers and illustrators who deal with the natural world. The Loewers have collaborated on two other children's books: Pond Water Zoo and The Inside-Out Stomach.
