Resumen del Editor

The polite Piedmont town of Hillston, North Carolina, wants to go on believing it is still too temperate to require homicide experts. But when the wife of a state senator is found beaten to death, the inner circle of Hillston’s ruling families arranges to have the case assigned to Detective Justin Savile, the charming black sheep of the dynasty that founded the town.

Aided by his wise-cracking, working-class partner, Cuddy Magnum, and a young woman from the Carolina mountains whose strength and love rescues him from his own destructive impulses, Savile sets out to unravel the deceit hidden in Hillston’s past. His obsessive pursuit of one of this own and his determination to save a petty thief from being railroaded for murder not only lead to other deaths, but bring the detective very near to losing his own life. With striking humor and a rich range of characters, Malone creates a landscape struggling the New South’s high-tech lifestyles and the Old South’s inherited codes.

I admit I could be prejudiced about this book because I knew and cared for Michael. He was a family friend and tears came into my eyes when he referred to the little Shakespeare books which my brother gave to Michael's daughter.
The story held my interest, the characters compelling and the references to NC were accurate, triggering nostalgia. I did not like some of the accents the narrator used.
