bestseller!
Murder
in Caney Fork,
which was the Amazon Daily Deal yesterday, has climbed the charts!
By Wally Avett www.wallyavett.com
It’s the trial of the century in a 1940’s North
Carolina town.
Rape. Murder. Vigilante justice.
War hero and law student Wes Ross has to save his
uncle—but hide the truth.
Taught to shoot in the rough logging
camps of the North Carolina swamps, Wes Ross remembers his lessons well.
Dodging hostile gunfire with dozens of other young Marines, he storms a remote
Pacific island as one of Carlson's Raiders. It was the first commando-style
attack of World War II. He blasts
several Japanese snipers from their palm-tree hideouts with buckshot before an
enemy bullet sends him home.
The Carolina home front includes a
new girlfriend and a new occupation, learning to be a rural lawyer in his
uncle's law office, including courtroom intrigue and what goes on behind the
scenes. Wes, like his uncles, is a good man, the kind who takes up for the poor
and downtrodden, looking out for the black farmers and others who are easy prey
for bullies.
Frog Cutshaw is the storekeeper in
the Caney Fork backwoods, a swaggering ex-moonshiner who is deadly with his
ever-present .45 auto pistol. Frog's
daylight rape of a married woman and the brutal killing of her husband bring on
Bible Belt vigilante justice, an eye for an eye, life for a life.
Wes is caught in the middle as a
participant in the killing of Frog Cutshaw. Soon one uncle is being tried for a
murder he planned but did not commit and another uncle defends him,
circumstances and witnesses threatening to convict the wrong man.
Wes knows all too well who pulled the
trigger of the 12-gauge pumpgun, and knows that the shooter could end up on
Death Row.
Keep your eyes peeled for Last
Bigfoot in Dixie October 8th!!!
