{"product_id":"and-the-crows-took-their-eyes-9781646030118","title":"And the Crows Took Their Eyes","description":"In bitterly divided western North Carolina, Confederate troops execute thirteen men and boys suspected of Unionism. The Shelton Laurel Massacre, as it came to be known, is a microcosm of the horrors of civil war--neighbor against neighbor and violence at one's own front door. Told by those who lived it--the colonel's wife, a helpless witness; the jealous second-in-command who gives the fatal order; the canny mountain woman who cares only for her people and her land; the conscript, a haunted man seeking redemption; and the mute girl, whose folk magic yields an unexpected result--these voices offer an intimate glimpse into the lives of five people tangled in history's web, caught up together in love and hate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVicki Lane's\u003c\/b\u003e previous novels include \u003ci\u003eSigns in the Blood\u003c\/i\u003e, four other Elizabeth Goodweather Mysteries, and \u003ci\u003eThe Day of Small Things\u003c\/i\u003e.
