Book Description
High summer in Acker's Gap, West Virginia—but no one's enjoying the rugged natural landscape. Not while a killer stalks the small town and its hard-luck inhabitants. County prosecutor Bell Elkins and Sheriff Nick Fogelsong are stymied by a murderer who seems to come and go like smoke on the mountain. At the same time, Bell must deal with the return from prison of her sister, Shirley—who, like Bell, carries the indelible scars of a savage past. In Summer of the Dead, the third Julia Keller mystery chronicling the journey of Bell Elkins and her return to her Appalachian hometown, we also meet Lindy Crabtree—a coal miner's daughter with dark secrets of her own, secrets that threaten to explode into even more violence. Acker's Gap is a place of loveliness and brutality, of isolation and fierce attachments—a place where the dead rub shoulders with the living, and demand their due.

Book Description
DEAD OF SUMMER is a beach-reading collection of true-crime, true-horror, and generally quirky weirdness from a group of writers who call themselves the Dead of Winter. If you like your sun and sand with a little cemetery mixed in, this is your book. We examine the symbols carved on gravestones, and look at a gallery of mourning jewels dating back nearly four hundred years. We recount the story behind several missing persons in Delaware County--and their link to motorcycle gangs and a screaming ghost in a nearby fort. And we examine the Thirteen Club--a group of superstition-busters who dine under umbrellas. Indoors. And we do it all with words, pictures, and a healthy dose of humor.
