McCrumb, Sharyn St. Dale
Kensington Books 2005 075820776x / 9780758207760 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - Kirkus Reviews In a career marked by strange, wonderful stories (Ghost Riders, 2003, etc.), McCrumb offers her strangest yet: a modern-day Canterbury Tales with Dale Earnhardt replacing Thomas a Becket. The Number Three Pilgrimage, as Bailey Travel bills it, takes 13 pilgrims, all Harry Bailey could get racetrack tickets for, on a journey through the NASCAR strongholds of the Southeast-racetracks steeped in the lore of the Intimidator and his contemporaries-under the wing of former journeyman driver Harley Claymore. Harley hopes to use the tour to climb back into the circuit. Wall Street broker Terence Palmer is using his late father's tickets for himself and Sarah Nash, his dad's neighbor, to connect with the faraway parent he never knew. Shane McKee's taking advantage of the trip to get hitched under Dale's ghostly eye. Rev. Bill Knight is squiring ten-year-old Matthew Hinshaw, whose dying wish the trip is fulfilling. Judge Bekasu Holifield, her thrice-married sister Justine, and their cousin Cayle Warrenby are just out for a good time, though Cayle's convinced that Earnhardt came back from the grave to fix her ailing car on an isolated stretch of North Carolina roadway. In between pauses to lay memorial wreaths at Bristol, Martinsville, Mooresville, Rockingham, Lowe's, Talladega, Atlanta, Daytona and Darlington, they swap capsule summaries of their lives and brief testimonials to their hero. "I've always thought saints must be like that," Knight recalls a friend telling him, and Sarah adds, "Never knew the worth of him until he died." McCrumb has much to say about secular sainthood, but her fondness for aphorism and her split allegiance to her pilgrims and the object of their veneration work againstEarnhardt's, or even Chaucer's, momentum. Still, this book of moments is required reading for anybody who still mourns Number Three-or who wonders what the fuss is about.

McCrumb, Sharyn The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
Scribner 1992 0684194074 / 9780684194073 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.00. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 306 pages. - Everyone in Dark Hollow, Tennesee, knew that old Nora Bonesteel had "the Sight." So naturally she was the first to know about the murder-suicide. Four members of the Underhill family lay dead on a run-down farm, and the two children who survived had no one left. Only the minister's wife, Laura Bruce, was willing to be their guardian. The grisly case was supposed to be "open and shut," but it bothered Sheriff Spencer Arrowood. He had this worried feeling that the bad things were far from over at the Underhill's farm. And he would feel a lot worse if he knew what else old Nora saw: tragedy for Laura Bruce, an elderly man, and a young mother...and the kind of dying that would test the courage of the living and a sheriff's insights into country ways and hearts. Annotation The prolific and highly acclaimed author of the Edgar Award-winning Bimbos of the Death Sun weaves a tale of murder and psychological suspense that conjures up a world ruled by timeless tradition, rural grandeur, and a touch of magic. With a strong female heroine and all the nuances of Appalachian culture, this rich novel is destined to enjoy bestselling status across the country.

McCrumb, Sharyn The Rosewood Casket
Dutton 1996 0525940111 / 9780525940111 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Price inside dustcover: $23.95. NO remainder marks or price clippings. ONLY writing/mark inside book is a checkmark in book front on blank pages. Tight spine, bright pages. 305 pages. NO tears inside book. - Randall Stargill lies dying on his southern Appalachian farm, and his four sons have come home to build him a coffin from the cache of rosewood he long has hoarded for the special purpose. Meanwhile, like a vulture hovering over prey, a local real estate developer is readying an offer for the farm that will be extremely hard for the heirs to refuse as soon as the old man is gone. And at the same time, mountain wise-woman Nora Bonesteel, Randall's sweetheart of long ago, must bring to light a small box to be buried with Randall - a box containing human bones. Thus the stage is set for a tale of family strife, dark secrets, and haunting legends that mix present with past tragedies among mountain people torn between tradition and change. In a style both lyrical and beautifully detailed, with a narrative flow that moves seamlessly from mystically glowing Indian lore and time-burnished tales of Daniel Boone to the sharp-edged, sometimes violent realities of the Appalachia of today, novelist Sharyn McCrumb captures the unique flavor of the region that she has made her own fictional realm as she unfolds her tale of mystery and revelation, mounting tension and shattering denouement.
