Dead Times Revive In Thee: A Clancy Evans Mystery (Clancy Evans PI Prequel)

In this coming-of-age tale, 11-year-old Clancy uncovers her innate inclinations for investigative work while learning some painful yet valuable lessons about her unusual family. Ignoring the overt objections of her mother, Clancy helps her Pitt County Sheriff father solve a double murder of two young boys, and is bent on proving the innocence of her aging friend, Mr. Joe, who is accused of the crime chiefly because he is black. With her strident tenacity and relentless determination, Clancy uncovers clues to discover what is going on in her small Virginia town, which seems to have more than its share of potential suspects.
