Dan McClain bought the old Vickers farm hoping to find a
peaceful retreat in Jesus Creek, Tennessee, but the town's unique reality
hits home when skeletons start popping up in McClain's yard, followed by the
murder of a beloved local resident.
Are the crimes connected? Amateur sleuth and genealogist Delia Cannon is
determined to unearth the answer. As ghostly remnants of a long ago murder
linger in the shadow of present day tragedy, Delia's passion for truth draws
the attention of a killer who isn't about to let a decades-old crime come to light.
About The Author
Flair and Macavity Award-winner Deborah Adams' first novel,
All The Great Pretenders<?i>, was nominated for the Agatha Award in 1993. Since
that time, Adams has earned a reputation among readers, critics, and
booksellers as a talented author who consistently produces a more compelling
story with each new novel.
A seventh-generation Tennessean, Adams brings to her work an appreciation
for the lore and traditions of the South. Combining her sharply perceptive
observations of human nature with a biting and slightly warped wit, she
creates satirical novels that gently tweak the reader's conscience while
mercilessly tickling the funny bone.
She has recently begun studying tap, jazz, and ballet. In her first year of
dance instruction, Deborah was prohibited from performing in the recital by
the vehement protests of her seven-year-old classmates. In 1999, however,
she and the other members of The Dance Center's first year adult class will
be the intermission entertainment at the spring recital.
In addition to writing, Adams is actively involved with a domestic violence
prevention organization. In 1995, she competed in her first horseback
endurance race, completing the course under particularly grueling conditions
(i.e. the fringes of a hurricane). She did not finish in last place.
Adams served on the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Committees (Best Novel)
in 1993 and (Best Short Story) in 1996, and is a member of The American
Crime Writers League and the Writers' World Order.
