Publisher's Synopsis
"A writer's writer." - Sharyn McCrumb. The characters in these mysteries might look like ordinary small-town folk but some of them harbor an appalling capacity for greed, lust, and revenge. Created by an award-winning magazine writer and set amid the natural beauty of West Virginia, the tales include stories featuring a modern-day investigative team as well as Melville D. Post's famous Uncle Abner, the righteous 19th-century sleuth who holds an important place in American detective fiction.
