Reviews of this title
Library Journal
You'll find many of the essentials of the Southern Gothic novel here: a lavish but strangely lifeless plantation house; a family member locked away in a secret hiding place; a devoted servant privy to dark family secrets; a corrupt and corrupting lawman; a hothouse atmosphere of decadence, venality and treachery; and murder, revenge, miscegenation, torture, and child abduction. And, as with any good Southern Gothic, you'll find that this is also a morality play in which the forces of good, however ragged, suspiciously motivated, and unlikely heroic, confront the forces of evil, both personal and institutional. Two letters from a supposed dead man, one to his killer and one to his millionaire mistress, trigger a violent quest that sweeps the reader along in its breakneck pace. A tour de force from the author of Green River Rising.
