Surprised by Death: A Novel of Arkansas in the 1840s

Description: Opening with the senseless killing of a boy, and not just any boy but the scion of a proud family, Lankfordas novel is the stuff of classic fiction. Who would harm such a promising lad; perhaps the folks whose farmhouse is nearest? A man lives there who has sworn to get even with the boyas father. Has he done so by killing an innocent? To many it is sensible to assume so. A posse is formed, a manhunt ensues. Is it really necessary, given the blood feud between the boyas pa and the man whose house overlooks the killing scene? Lankfordas novel is based on extensive historical research; it may even contain more fact than fiction. Yet it is the unsolved murder at the core of the story that propels the reader from page to page. And it is the quest for resolution that drives the charactersain their interwoven storiesain search of an answer to the identity of the killer. Lankford delivers a very satisfying historical novel, delivered within the setting of real Arkansas history.
