The small town of Shelby is shaken by a brutal murder. In its
remote outskirts, in a place called Dark Hollow, a man by the name
of Etheridge was found beaten to death. John Scoville, a local
inn-keeper, is convicted and executed for the crime. Many years
later, "a woman in purple" shows up at the house of Ostrander, the
respected judge who had sentenced Scoville to be executed. This
mysterious woman turns out to be the wife of the convicted man, but
she does not believe he was guilty. Deborah Scoville had to move
away with her daughter and change her name to avoid the stigma of
being the wife of a murderer. She visits the Judge, who is now a
recluse, to challenge him on his verdict. He listens to her plea,
but reaffirms his belief in Scoville's guilt. Having nowhere to go,
Deborah is given the position of maid, which she secretly will use
to obtain proof of her husband's innocence and the identity of the
real killer. However, the initial evidence that Deborah collects
points in troubling new directions. It forces disclosures about the
Judge's errant and estranged son. More evidence emerges: peculiar
marks on a walking stick, a knife, a tragic fire, mistaken
identities, heated arguments between friends. All of this produces
astonishing tension, culminating in bitter accusations and an
exciting chase in upstate New York. Finally, all the circumstances
of the crime are revealed. Judge Ostrander carries painful secrets
from long ago, involving his son and his best friend, secrets that
he hoped would never come to light. Dark Hollow is a compelling
tale of hidden guilt, honor, and remorse.
