One of Sharyn McCrumb's best.
Spencer Arrowood and Nora Bonesteel are terrific characters. I loved how this story addressed the idea of whether we can actually know enough about any situation to find justice for those involved. Juxtiposing a folk legend/ghost story with a fugitive on
the run was very effective
