Synopsis: Kate Kincaid Mulcay has a tranquil life in her country log cabin and a pleasant routine of writing thrice-weekly columns for an Atlanta newspaper. All that is shattered when she discovers that Miss Willie Wilcox, a beloved eighty-five year-old neighbor, has calmly confessed to the brutal murder of her stepson, Garney. But Kate knows Miss Willie too well to believe she could kill anyone, and a little investigation shows that the facts don't add up. Soon she's off on the trail of the real murderer, a dangerous chase that leads her from the drug deals of downtown Atlanta to the wealthy new subdivisions of her own hometown. Kate finds herself attending three funerals related to the case and she and two little girls she is sheltering are threatened. Set in big city Atlanta and the remnants of rural Georgia, and featuring many colorful characters from disappearing and emerging cultures, this is an engrossing mystery with heart.
