In "A Killing in the Hills," a powerful, intricate debut from
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julia Keller, a mother and a
daughter try to do right by a town and each other before it's too
late.
What's happening in Acker's Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men
are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly
half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so
fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter.
Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence
plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker's Gap? Or were
Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?
One of the witnesses to the brutal incident was Carla Elkins,
teenaged daughter of Bell Elkins, the prosecuting attorney for
Raythune County, WV. Carla was shocked and horrified by what she
saw, but after a few days, she begins to recover enough to believe
that she might be uniquely placed to help her mother do her job.
After all, what better way to repair their fragile, damaged
relationship? But could Carla also end up doing more harm than
good--in fact, putting her own life in danger?
