Book Description
 

CHIEFS by Stuart Woods - SIGNED FIRST EDITION THUS BOOK

See all titles by Stuart Woods.

Winner of the 1982 Edgar Award for Best First Mystery Novel.

25th Anniversary Edition

The compelling thriller that launched the career of best-selling novelist Stuart Woods‚ in an anniversary hardcover edition.

In the bitter winter of 1920, the first body is found in Delano, Georgia; 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. Chiefs 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 - always - 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.

5 of 5 Chiefs November 28, 2010
Reviewer: P. Sutton from Inglewood, West Australia  
Thanks John. I got an email from John to try this book and I am really happy I did. It is a great story about the interwoven life of people in a small town and the central part played by three Police Chiefs.
The writing is great and excellently written and you felt part of the community. It is set in the South, but the backdrop to the story is race relationships, fueds and people "doing the right and wrong thing".
I liked it and thank you for the recommendation and I have not hesitation in also recommending the book to readers that want a good read.
I would admit the book is different to my other recommendations without all the fast action but it is just a great story and what a great writer.
