About The Lake Murray Murders
In 1990, the sleepy community of Lexington, South Carolina, was rocked by the brutal slaying of a man found floating in a small boat one morning in nearby Lake Murray. Police identified the man as Jonathon Blackwood from a middle-class family in Lexington. While the investigation unfolded, the community held its breath, waiting to see who could have done such a terrible deed. Sadly, after several months of investigating the trail went cold, and the perpetrator was never caught.
After the murder, rumors swirled throughout the county about a land deal gone bad and who could have been behind Jonathon’s killing. Everyone seemed to have their own opinion about who did it and why. Still, everyone agreed on one thing: someone in the affluential Harrington family had something to do with it.
Time moved on, and over the years, the Blackwood murder was all but forgotten … until it happened again. This time, the body of a young woman was found in an eerily similar way as Jonathon Blackwood’s body was found. This time, Lexington County detectives had a clue that would get them closer than ever to solving the case that has haunted the community for thirty-three years and, once and for all, put a name to … Erebus, a prolific international art thief who vanished after a string of thefts in the 1960s.

Author Bio:
Steven Jacobs, a native of Wilmington, North Carolina, was captivated by history from a young age. His fascination was nurtured by his father, who introduced him to classic movies featuring legendary actors like Cary Grant, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Steve McQueen. This early exposure sparked Steven’s passion for history, particularly the turbulent years of the early to mid-1900s, and his love for military history began to bloom.
Later in high school, Steven excelled in United States history, especially in the turbulent years of the early to mid-1900s, and this is where his love for military history flourished. By the time Steven was thirty-five years old, he had read countless books on United States history with a focus on the era of World War II.
At the age of forty-five, Steven penned his debut book, The Disappearance of U-491, a gripping tale about a German U-boat vanishing during World War II. The experience of writing this book was so fulfilling that he decided to continue, culminating in the completion of his fourteenth book. This impressive body of work is a testament to his dedication and love for historical fiction.
Now, at the age of fifty-two, Steven lives in Columbia, South Carolina, with his wife and son. He has worked for the government for fifteen years.
