Quinn Colson novel

A-- The New York Times Book Review From the Hardcover editionWhen the investigation into Milly Jones' brutal death begins to look like more than a senseless act of violence, Sheriff Quinn Colson and his deputy, Lillie Virgil, must contend with the national media and federal authorities interfering"The extraordinary new novel in the New York Times-bestselling author's acclaimed series about the real Deep South--"a joy ride into the heart of darkness" (The Washington Post). She was just seventeen, a high school dropout named Milly Jones, found walking down the middle of the highway, engulfed in flames. Even in a tough Mississippi county like Tibbehah, it shatters the community, and it is up to Sheriff Quinn Colson, back on the job after a year away, and his deputy Lillie Virgil, to investigate what happened and why. Before long, however, accusations start to fly, national media and federal authorities descend, and what seemed like a senseless act of violence begins to appear like something even more disturbing--with more victims waiting in the shadows"--, Provided by publisher
