From the Inside Flap:
HE LAND . . .
Appalachian country was shaped by misty valleys, hardship, mining strikes, and the legacy of the Cherokee people. Now the small Kentucky town of Contrary is being reshaped--by murder.
THE LAW OF THE LIVING . . .
Reconciled to settling down in the community she fled years before, attorney Alma Bashears finds herself embroiled in random acts of violence that soon become chillingly connected: the tragic death of her pregnant cousin, the shooting of a factory owner, the disappearance of a teenage girl. As Alma delves into family secrets, witnesses a preacher's mysterious power, and begins a curious relationship with a handsome stranger, she realizes how much of Contrary she still doesn't know--including a killer who has made himself at home. . . .

THE LAW OF THE DEAD
"Tess Collins writes of Appalachia with an intensity that reminds me of Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad series. . . . With her nimble plotting and modern sensibilities, she's another authentic voice for the region."
--MARGARET MARON
--MARGARET MARON
"Tess Collins captures the atmosphere of Appalachia and the essence of its hill people with a tenderness, vividness, and accuracy that is positively brilliant."
