false 41325 38 Convicted of the brutal ax murders of her mother and sister, Olive Martin spends her days in prison carving tiny human figures out of wax. Rosalind Leigh is a best-selling author whose publisher jolts her out of writer's block by telling her to research a book about Olive and the murders, or else. Though repelled by the idea at first, Rosalind soon becomes intrigued by her subject and begins to believe she may be innocent. She soon uncovers plenty of reasons to doubt the official police version of the killings and with Olive's help, untangles a sinister cover-up. <b>The Sculptress</b> won the 1994 Edgar Award for best mystery novel. 40899 1 8 1993 The Sculptress total:560|5:139|4:257|3:141|2:19|1:4| 560 2188 723 33 4 1 false false Fri Jan 09 10:51:31 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 02:37:55 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 10:51:31 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Fri Mar 27 06:29:37 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 06:36:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 12:19:54 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 07:41:54 -0700 2009 The Sculptress was one of them.
