Publisher's Synopsis
Randall Wilkes, his big-city journalism career in ruins, has returned to Pilgrim's Rest, the Tennessee hill town where he grew up. He has taken on a writing job for Sonny McMahan, former governor and Randall's boyhood friend. However, amid a violent storm, Randall finds McMahan's mother, Faye, murdered - hanging by the neck from a bridge over Damnation Falls. Within days, another person connected to the McMahan clan is killed. And the bones of a third murder victim have emerged from the earth... Randall, setting out to discover who is behind the killings, unearths a history of murder and betrayal in the town of Pilgrim's Rest. Before all the answers are in, an old score will be settled, and the dead will finally tell their stories.
