You can bury the past but it always seems to come back, one way or another . . .

A gripping Southern Gothic murder mystery, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year

Amos, Mississippi, is a quiet town, Silas Jones its sole law enforcement officer. The last excitement in Amos was nearly twenty years ago, when a teenage girl disappeared on a date with Larry Ott, Silas's one-time boyhood friend. The law couldn't prove Larry guilty, but the town's residents have shunned him ever since.

Then someone tries to kill the reclusive Ott, another young woman goes missing, and the town's drug dealer is murdered. Driven by deep-seated guilt, Silas throws himself into investigating the crimes. Woven through the tautly written mystery is the unspoken secret that hangs over the lives of two men - one black, one white.

Melancholic and beautifully written, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is a masterful novel oozing with deep Southern menace.
