It's 1928, and the presidential election between Herbert Hoover
and Al Smith is on everybody's mind-everyone but Police Chief James
Buckner of Corinth, Missouri. A young woman's corpse has been
discovered buried in the cellar wall of a boarding house in the
nearby mining village of Taylor. Knowing he's one of the best
detectives they have, Corinth's officials allow Chief Buckner to
investigate.
Buckner learns the woman was strangled and then immersed in acid
before being buried. Worse, she was pregnant. His investigation
takes him to Arkansas and Tennessee, where he realizes he may be on
the trail of a serial killer-one who specializes in murdering young
prostitutes. But as Buckner closes in on the killer, he knows that
coming up with enough evidence for a conviction may be difficult,
if not downright impossible.
Tragically, no one seems to care about the dead women except
Buckner. One thing is for sure: the murderer will kill again. But
in this hardboiled world of nasty politics, questionable morals,
and ruthless ambition, stopping his prey might exact a price that
Buckner isn't willing to pay.
From Missouri backwoods to seedy brothels, Rest Her Soul reveals
the dark underbelly of America in the 1920s.
