Citaat:
Sequoyah,
Georgia.
A
place of endless dark woods, shadowy back roads, and the haunting past
Jackson Kinley thought he'd left behind forever.
But
now the true-crime writer is home, investigating the decades-old
unsolved murder of a teenage girl.
She
disappeared up a winding mountain road--leaving only a bloody green
dress swaying in the breeze.
“People change, that’s all I know. It
happens all the time.”
Edgar Award winner Thomas H. Cook has earned acclaim and a growing legion of fans for his brilliantly styled, intensely evocative thrillers. Now, in his most seductive suspense novel yet, he draws us into a world of love, betrayal, and murder from which one man can find no escape.
"It's better to know, don't you think?... No matter what the cost?"
Forty years ago in Sequoyah, Georgia, Charles Overton was sentenced to die for the murder of a young woman, even though her body was never found. But the prosecution had all the ammunition it needed: a blood-stained dress and a jury out for vengeance....
Now true-crime writer Jackson Kinley is coming home to grieve for an old friend. But Sequoyah sheriff Ray Tindall's death has left many questions: Why had he reopened the Overton case... and then, without explanation, shut it down? What was he looking for? And what did he find that he couldn't bear to reveal? The search for answers leads Kinley into a small-town web of corruption, secrecy, and lies--and finally into the darkest corners of the human heart, where the terrible truth lies...in the Evidence of Blood.
He tried to smile, but the effort
seemed to exhaust him
“The
deepest of all human motivations are also those that move toward
murder”
