In the next powerful mystery from Julia Keller, Bel
Elkins's sister goes undercover into a West Viriginia
nursing home when Alzheimer patients start dying at
alarming rates
In 1944, three young men from a small town in West
Virginia are among the American forces participating in D-
Day, changing the fortunes of the war with one bold
stroke. How is that moment aboard a Navy ship as it
barrels toward the Normandy shore related to the death of
an old man in an Appalachian nursing home seventy-two
years later?
In Sorrow Road, the latest mystery from Pulitzer Prize-
winning writer Julia Keller, two stories—one set in the
turbulent era of World War II and one in the present day—
are woven together to create a piercingly poignant tale of
memory and family, of love and murder.
Belfa Elkins, prosecuting attorney in Acker’s Gap, West
Virginia, is asked by an old acquaintance to look into the
death of her beloved father in an Alzheimer’s care
facility. Did he die of natural causes—or was something
more sinister to blame? And that’s not the only issue with
which Bell is grappling: Her daughter Carla has moved back
home. But something’s not right. Carla is desperately
hiding a secret.
Once again, past and present, good and evil, and revenge
and forgiveness clash in a riveting story set in the
shattered landscape of Acker’s Gap, where the skies can
seem dark even at high noon, and the mountains lean close
to hear the whispered lament of the people trapped in
their shadow.
