Pearson is not known for writing mysteries, but this, his first novel in seven years, definitely falls into that category. Ray Tatum and his dog, Monroe, are on a journey to Hogarth, a small town in Virginia. Ray is taking the job of deputy sheriff in this small town, known for nothing except its proximity to the Appalachian Trail. At first Ray spends his time with his colleagues, eating burgers and ignoring local drivers who exceed the speed limit while stopping tourists who drive three miles over it. However, Ray has no sooner settled into this bucolic existence when hikers on the A.P., as it is known, discover a skeleton of a man that has been just off the main trail for some time. Ray will have to solve this gruesome murder with help from a group of rusty law enforcement officers and a park ranger with the unlikely name of Kit Carson, a black woman whose filthy mouth has protected her from the local good ole boys she's forced to deal with every day. In a parallel story, Paul Tatum, Ray's cousin, an insurance actuary
