Moonshine, Murder, and Dark Secrets spanning 70 years--set in the Mississippi Hills
"Chickenbone was inspired by old moonshine tales that my grandfather used to tell," confesses author,Anita Havens.
Something sinister from the past has come back to haunt the elderly men of this small, southern community. They are all being brutally murdered, and an old black grandmother must sort through the tangle of her childhood memories to find the key that will unlock the mystery and stop the killer.
Seventy years have passed since that night--since two children witnessed something so horrible that its very memory has been erased from the consciousness of this close-knit southern community.
Now, Scott Griffin has come home, home to a Mississippi he knows only from his grandmother's stories, and that knows him only as an outsider--a hotshot cop from Chicago. When Scott came here hoping to start a new life far from the slums where he grew up, he never expected to land in the middle of the case of a lifetime--or in the arms of Angela Woodard, the beautiful, hot-tempered deputy who becomes his new partner. But the citizens of Calhoun County are being murdered, and Scott alone holds the key that can unlock the mystery.
As his feelings for Angela grow, Scott realizes that if he is to save their future, he must delve into the shadows of his own heritage, back to a time when the threat of starvation made honest men do desperate things--a time when bootleggers and revenuers turned quiet Calhoun County into a war zone. For the only one who can stop the killer has kept her deadly secret for seventy years--since the night her innocence was shattered by the blast of a double-barreled shotgun.
