A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Plowing up a snake means to go looking for trouble, and trouble aplenty comes to picture postcard pretty Enoch, New Hampshire, where citizens believe in taking care of their own, even if that means killing someone who just needed killing. Based on a still unsolved murder in 1950s Northern New England, Plowing Up A Snake unearths the snakes barely buried as passions erupt, truth turns cruel, and death follows death. Only two people, Marjorie, the victim’s widow and Clay, his cousin, want facts revealed, and soon they find themselves entangled in Enoch’s wickedness. Plowing Up A Snake paints a striking portrait of a small New Hampshire town’s reaction to the murder of one of its least-liked citizens by some of its most respectable.
