Description
Summary:"...It's 1836 in the fast-growing town of Adamant. The young Pennsylvania Dutch sheriff Gideon has a new case when a beautiful woman--suspected of witchcraft and residing in a nearby German settlement--is murdered. Suffering from a head injury after a fall off his horse, Gideon can't recall anything that happened at the time of the woman's death. As flashes of memory return, he realizes that not only did he know the victim, he was with her the night she died. As Gideon delves into the investigation, he must include himself in the list of suspects. When Gideon uncovers another dead body, he's launched on a path to discover the truth, no matter the outcome. Gideon's estranged wife, True, has her own reluctant methods of investigation. Gifted with unwelcome powers of second sight, True realizes that her husband's life is in danger--and puts her own life on the line to save him."--Dust jacket flap.

Author Notes:Charles Fergus is the author of twenty books. Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Geraldine Brooks called Fergus's first Gideon Stoltz mystery, A Stranger Here Below , "deeply imagined and intricately plotted . . . Fergus knows certain things deep in the bone: horses, hunting, the folkways of rural places, and he weaves this wisdom into a stirring tale." A native of Pennsylvania, Fergus now lives in Vermont's remote Northeast Kingdom with his wife, the writer Nancy Marie Brown, and four horses. http://www.charlesfergus.com
