The compelling fiction of best-selling author Jane Roberts Wood, recipient of the Texas Institute of Letters Award, has prompted the Dallas Morning News to praise her as "a genuine Texas treasure." In 1946 a young couple is brutally murdered in the East Texas town of Cold Springs. Now-34 years later-rumor has it that the sole suspect in these murders has returned. While the response to this report ranges from giddy excitement to vile loathing, another dead body turns up.
