Ever since A Short History of a Small Place, T. R. Pearson has captivated readers. In his seventh novel, Blue Ridge, Ray Tatum is the new deputy sheriff of Hogarth, Virginia, located in the middle of nowhere with "nothing too awful gaudy afoot" until the discovery of a nearly complete set of human bones on the Appalachian Trail. Meanwhile, Ray's cousin Paul is summoned to New York to identify another body-the corpse of his son, whom he scarcely knew.
