'These mountains have produced only two murder cases that make me wonder about justice: Frankié Silver and Fate Harkryder.' Frankié Silver was arrested in 1832: a small blonde girl, only eighteen, charged with the savage murder of her handsome husband Charlie in their frontier cabin. Lafayette Harkryder was alsó eighteen when he was arrested, accused of the brutal killing of two young hikers. Two violent crimes, two trials - and two people whose refusal to speak out may well send them to their deaths, separated by one hundred and fifty years of Appalachian history. Burgess Gaither, a twenty-five-year-old lawyer who witnessed the story from the discovery of Charlie Silver's body to the hanging of Frankié Silver, speaks for Frankié. Sheriff Spencer Arrowood, who arrested Fate Harkryder so many years ago, has been invited to his execution by the state of Tennessee. As the two stories unfold, Gaither and Arrowood both realize that though the Appalachian mountains keep their secrets well, both Frankié Silver and Fate Harkryder have hidden part of their stories - and may have shielded the truly guilty. 'The fifth book in Sharyn McCrumb's enthralling series of Appalachian mountain tales . . . McCrumb threads both stories into a single pattern, a dense and lovely but very dark design/ New York Times Book Review All Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad novels are New English Library paperbacks: have you read them?
