A page-turning collection of 12 short stories, each of them a portrait of an unforgettable and often dangerous woman. The stories begin with "Red Clay", winner of the Edgar Allen Poe Award, in which a movie star, back in her sleepy North Carolina hometown, is put on trial for killing her husband. And in "Love and Other Crimes" we are reunited with Hillston's wisecracking and irresistible Chief of Police Cuddy Mangum as he investigates a very peculiar murder at a lavish Southern wedding.
