Produktbeschreibung
Seneca Falls, West Virginia, is a picturesque town. Tucked between the foothills of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, it lives in the shadow of the Dunning and Munroe families, mining moguls who have competed for coal in the region for generations. It is a place Joshua Chacon would rather forget. The scorned biracial stepson of the Dunning dynasty, Chacon has acquired a national reputation and a Pulitzer Prize for his books revealing political skullduggery. Drawn back to the hometown he abandoned by news of the mysterious murder of his half brother, Senator Stewart Dunning, Josh soon becomes entangled in a murder plot thick with the power politics of the ruling families of West Virginia's mining country. ""To anyone else in the small town of Seneca Falls, West Virginia, that sweltering July morning, nothing would have appeared out of order at the white brick mansion on the high knoll overlooking Fourth and Mountain View streets.
