What this book is about
A man is found hanged from a tree on the Natchez Trace Parkway — and the timing of his death, at the opening of hunting season, suggests that someone used the hunters' presence to provide cover. Anna Pigeon investigates in the Mississippi setting established in 'Deep South,' now more familiar with the community but still an outsider. Nevada Barr's twelfth Anna Pigeon novel continues the series' engagement with the specific culture of rural Mississippi and the particular difficulty of investigating in a community whose silence is practiced.
