A tiny Ozark town is haunted by a long-ago crime in this “dynamic, captivating” mystery by the author of Bred to the Bone (Mid-Atlantic Book Review). While visiting her mother in the rural Missouri town of Sycamore Bend, Catherine Hudson and her boyfriend go on a scenic hike—though it gets hard to see much of anything when a dense fog descends upon their trail. Then, in the rapidly fading sunlight, a young, barefoot boy appears, searching for his dog. But before they can even learn his identity, he disappears back into the mist. Catherine’s mother, Caroline, has become increasingly interested in the lives of those around her, even though some would prefer some stories stay in the past. But the retired librarian can’t help herself. Soon, details of a boy’s death eighty years ago begin to unfold—and a much more recent tragedy involving abuse, addiction, and neglect. Caroline won’t rest—and neither will a young victim’s spirit—until justice is done . . .
In this small-town mystery, a retired teacher moves to the Ozark mountains, where her eager manner ruffles some feathers—and unearths dark secrets. Retired schoolteacher Caroline Hudson has moved to Hickory Bend, Missouri, to embrace small-town life. But her eagerness to join the community only rouses the suspicions of longtime residents. Luckily, her friend Terry needs help fixing up the old Hunter’s Mill. Caroline is thrilled to learn about her new home through this historic building—especially when she discovers some fascinating documents hidden in the attic. These documents reveal family secrets of prejudice, pride, murder, and mayhem—just the kind of story that piques Caroline’s curiosity! But some residents would prefer to keep the unpleasantness buried in the past. When someone launches a cover-up as shocking and foolhardy as the original crime, it could bring a permanent end to Caroline’s new career in sleuthing . . .
The real-life mystery of a catastrophic blast in 1920s Missouri that killed dozens at a Friday night dance and shattered an Ozark town. One rainy night in 1928, a crowd, many of them the sons and daughters of prominent local citizens, gathered for a weekly dance held at Bond Hall. The explosion that occurred as midnight approached transformed Bond Hall into a raging inferno, left thirty-nine dead, and sparked feverish national media attention and decades of bitterness in the Missouri Ozark town. And while the story inspired a popular country song, the firestorm remains an unsolved mystery. In this first book on the notorious catastrophe, Lin Waterhouse presents a clear account of the event and its aftermath that judiciously weighs conflicting testimony and deeply respects the personal anguish experienced by parents forced to identify their children by their clothing and personal trinkets. Based on extensive research into archival records and illustrated with numerous photos, this is a fascinating account of a heartbreaking disaster and the town it tore apart.

When a fiery mountain girl's obsessive love is rejected by Andrew Wade, a young medical student one hundred years ago, she demands the help of the local medicine woman, who is also known for dark sorcery.

Abigail Matthews, a successful defense attorney in our time, is disillusioned with her career and sets off to her friend's home in the Ozark Mountains to sort out her life. In route, an unrelenting urge compels her to stop at a ramshackle roadside antique shop where she buys a mysterious painting; one that draws her into it, transporting her into Andrew Wade's existence. The key to their escape from this endless time in a bewitched painting is true love. Time, space, and a hundred-year spell will challenge and reinforce what is truly meant to be.

This is an exploration of the potent blend of Arthurian legend, cartoon animation, and cultural and artistic trends from 1933 to the present. In more than 170 theatrical and televised short cartoons, televised series and specials, and feature-length films from The Sword in the Stone to Shrek the Third--all covered in this book--animators have repeatedly brought the Round Table to life. Although these productions differ greatly in tone and intent--spanning spectra from comic to sober, fantastic to realistic, and entertaining to edifying--they share in the proof of Camelot's continuing relevance in the modern world.
After November 1776, the Hackensack Valley--located in northeastern New Jersey and Rockland County, New York--lay between the invading British army in New York City and the main Continental defense forces in the Hudson Highlands. Jersey Dutch patriot and Tory troops carried on a five-year war of neighbors between the lines, while the grand armies of Britain and America maneuvered on either side of them for a chance to strike a blow at the other. Adrian Leiby offers an exciting narrative of the people of Dutch New Jersey and New York during this conflict. Historians will find colorful details about the Revolutionary War, and genealogists will find much previously unpublished material on hundreds of men and women of Dutch New Jersey and New York in the 1700s.
