false 417501 11 25th Anniversary Edition. <B>The compelling thriller that launched the career of best-selling novelist Stuart Woods&#151;in an anniversary hardcover edition.</B> In the bitter winter of 1920, the first body is found in Delano, Georgia&#151;the naked corpse of an unidentified teenager. There is no direct evidence of murder, but the body bears marks of what seems to be a ritual beating. The investigation falls to Will Henry Lee, a failed cotton farmer newly appointed as Delano's first chief of police. Lee's obsession with the crime begins a story that weaves through the decades, following the life of a small southern town and the role of three police chiefs in unraveling the crime. <I>Chiefs</I> is the best kind of thriller, where the investigation plays out against the drama beneath the surface of a seemingly placid community, seething with the pressures of race, love, hate, and&#151;always&#151;political power, extending from the town fathers all the way to Washington, DC. With a new foreword by the author, this volume will be a collector's treasure for all fans of Stuart Woods. 2848528 2000 Chiefs (Will Lee, #1) total:382|5:148|4:137|3:83|2:11|1:3| 382 1562 507 43 417501 0393014614 9780393014617 342 36 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174570587m/417501.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/417501.Chiefs 4 0 false Wed Jul 09 12:55:49 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 12:56:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 417501 0393014614 9780393014617 342 36 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174570587m/417501.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/417501.Chiefs 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1985 Wed Mar 18 03:14:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 03:24:44 -0700 2009 5
