She Walks These Hills
Paperback; Good
Fear more chilling than approaching winter blankets the Appalachian community of Dark Hollow, Tennessee. Some believe that the ghost of Katie Wyler, kidnapped by Shawnee two hundred years ago, is once again roaming the hills. Even more frightening, a convicted murderer has escaped prison and is heading home with his woodsman's cunning, mocking all attempts to keep him from getting to the wife who has divorced him. Only an old woman's mystical gift of the sight and policewoman Martha Ayers' determination to prove herself as good as any lawman can put to rest the superstitions of Katie's wandering spirit following a trail of death. But can they stop a live, flesh-and-blood predator as elusive as the whistling wind before he kills again...?

The Ballad of Frankie Silver
Paperback; Good
In 1832 Frankie Silver, a "likely little woman" of eighteen, was charged with the murder of her young husband Charlie in their frontier cabin in what is now Kona, Mitchell County, North Carolina. Charlie Silver lies in three graves in the Silver family cemetery there. They didn't find him all at once.On July 12, 1833, Frankie Silver became the first woman in the state of North Carolina to be hanged for murder.Was she guilty?The enduring mystery of this case concerns the words that Frankie Silver's father shouted at her as she attempted to make a speech from the gallows: "Die with it in you, Frankie!" What did he not want her to say?Burgess Gaither, the 1832 clerk of court for Burke County who witnessed the case of Frankie Sliver from arrest to execution, narrates the story of the Silver murder as it unfolds before a frontier populace that was at first shocked by the savagery of the crime, and then appalled as they came to understand the true nature of the event. The community, powerless to wheels of justice, cannot save the young woman from the gallows. Burgess Gaither is a 25-year old lawyer, who has married a daughter of the wealthy and influential Erwin family of Morganton. Born of a genteel but impoverished family, Burgess has worked his way into the profession of law, and married his way into the path of power. He wants to fit in to polite society on the fringe of the frontier, yet his aristocratic complacency is shaken by the case of Frankie Silver, and he wonders if there is such a thing as equal justice under the law.Present-day east Tennessee Sheriff Spencer Arrowood, recuperating from a gunshot wound received in the line of duty, is obsessed with the case of Frankie Silver, because he has just been invited to witness an execution.Twenty years ago, Spencer Arrowood, then a deputy, apprehended a fugitive, and testified at the trial that sentenced him to death. Now a letter from Riverbend, the new maximum security penitentiary in Nashville says that Sheriff Arrowood is required to be a state's witness to the execution.The sheriff is troubled by the memory of the case. At the time, he was sure that the prisoner was guilty; now he wonders if he uncovered the whole truth. He remembers that Sheriff Nelse Miller used to say, "These mountains have produced only two murder cases that make me wonder about justice: Frankie Silver and Fate Harkryder." Spencer wonders what he meant by that, and he begins to look into both cases, hoping to satisfy himself that justice indeed was done. He will find disturbing parallels between the historic frontier murder case and the sordid '70's conviction of an east Tennessee teenager.It is too late to save Frankie Silver, but what about Fate Harkryder? If the sheriff learns that the wrong man was convicted, he has very little time to save him....
