The Chandler Heritage

Spanning three generations and nearly a hundred years, this is a novel about a great Southern family dynasty, like the few that even today still wield immense power over the lives of thousands of people and entire towns. Packed with memorable scenes and characters, The Chandler Heritage is an utterly enthralling saga from its first page to its very last. A magnificent piece of story-telling, it is compulsive reading throughout.We first meet the founder of the Chandler dynasty as a twelve-year-old fatherless boy, hopelessly mired in the poverty of his North Carolina valley during the black days following the Civil War. But then young Bolivar Chandler makes an astonishing discovery-that miracles do happen-and he decides that, given sufficient determination, anything is possible. Pursuing his goal single-mindedly, he grows up to be a stern, God-fearing man who eventually dominates the entire cotton industry from his personal fiefdom-the town name, naturally enough, Chandlerville.

Simon&Schuster

Another anatomy of a murder, rape, underpants and all, in the South when three years after the fact, Daisy Canfield's case is revived for personal reasons -- when the young man once suspected comes back to town, and when Danny Rush, Chief of Police, in debt and out a wife and his youngsters, tries to use the case as a means of re-establishing his manhood. It is further fortified when another young woman, Paula, drifts into his life and props him up with martinis, sex and incentive. Before very long Danny is sure he knows who the killer is (Wallace Gordon, a local man with an art gallery) but he is unable to prove it or himself particularly after Paula runs out of town with Gordon. . . . You'll read it for the story if at all -- it's a question of appetite rather than taste.
