When murder descends on a small Southern town, nothing is more dangerous than telling the truth Ernestine Baily was killed at dusk on a cold fall day as fog and darkness rolled over Hollow Hill. Five months later, her husband, Jed, whom she accused of the crime, stands trial. But in the small Virginia town of Bedford, many question his culpability, among them the murder’s lone witness: Sue Poore. Sue’s testimony ensures Jed’s freedom—something the local paper quickly seizes on as evidence of a scandalous romance. But beyond causing her to suffer this indignity, Sue’s avowal makes her a marked woman, targeted by a local policeman as the next best suspect, and by a mysterious gunman whose second bullet may not miss. In a town like Bedford, almost anyone can look guilty, and when Sue becomes caught between three men—two vying for her heart and one for her imprisonment—she knows that the real murderer sits quietly in their midst.

Taking ordinary lives and dissecting their ironies, injustices, and pleasures, this collection possesses a humane eye and wry sense of humor.

This poignant compilation of short stories finds the beauty and tragedy in illness and mortality, life and love.

But he’s not about to back down in the face of City hucksters who come calling, as they sense a killing and the Standish Holdings Empire teeters on the brink of meltdown. But who will come out on top; the Golden Horseshoe mob from the City’s Square Mile, Simon Horburg the crooked boss of the Horburg Merchant Bank, Neil Caesar an Aussie Huckster with his Klondyke Lager and his Touring Rugby Team, the Eastend Tankard Mob who move in on the revamped airport takeover or Jesse Mallory, a Golden Girl from the Valleys who comes looking for her missing sister
