Synopsis

Book by Post Melville Davisson

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This acclaimed collection -- perhaps the finest of short American detective stories -- chronicles the crime-solving exploits of a powerful mind and moral figure in the 19th-century Appalachian wilderness. Uncle Abner employs shrewd deductive skills and his faith-based sense of justice to expose evil-doing in these 18 intriguing stories. Enriched by historical, political, religious, and legal observations, the tales are often favorably compared with Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries.

Biographie de l'auteur

Post's fiction is noteworthy for its remarkable form, imaginative plots, economical writing, and inexorable inner story logic.
