Synopsis
Defying the authorities, Harry goes off on his own to find the real killer. His investigation takes him up the Atlantic seacoast and turns into a perilous hunt for even bigger quarry that could affect the future of Britain in the American continent., When a traveling peddler discovers the murder of a farm family in colonial North Carolina whose bodies have been left in bizarre positions, circumstances point to an Indian attack. But Harry Woodyard, a young planter who is the volunteer constable of Craven County during a period in America's past when there was no professional police force, finds clues that seem to indicate otherwise. The county establishment wants to blame the crime on a former inhabitant, an elderly Indian who has suddenly reappeared in the vicinity like an old ghost. But he is a person to whom Harry owes much. Defying the authorities, Harry goes off on his own to find the real killer. His investigation takes him up the Atlantic seacoast and turns into a hunt for even bigger quarry and more adventure then he ever dreamed possible. During his search for the truth about the murders, Harry learns that the eyes are not always to be trusted and people are not always as they seem., Set in a tumultuous period that helped to forge a nation, a riveting mystery that takes a volunteer constable through the wilds of colonial North Carolina to track down a shadowy killer

- s***a (24)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI purchased multiple books from this seller, and this was a great experience! Each book was listed at a great price! Everything was shipped out quickly, and arrived only a few days after that. The book was packaged appropriately as well. The condition of the book was even better than what was listed, as it looked almost brand new, rather than the “very good” that was stated. I absolutely would buy from this seller again!Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 4 (Nr. 277177504881)
- b***b (225)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis is a bookseller you can rely on. Paper Cuts is not my first purchase from them & they never let me down. Everything about them is positive. This book is brand new (!), even though it was listed as like new. Literally, brand new! They may have listed it as such due to the remainder mark - so slight it looks like a red dot. The quality, value and appearance of 'Paper Cuts' - all 5 (out of 5) stars. Great, strong, secure packaging. Book arrived on time. THANK YOU bellwetherbooks_usa!Paper Cuts: An Enchanting Cozy Mystery (A Secret, Book, and Scone Society Novel) (Nr. 276444407498)
