Burning for burning Jim Lockett

A novel from the land of the blue-grass and the rhododendron. Murders driven by greed in one generation, and by vengeance two generations later, offer a glimpse at a frame of mind which is able to precipitate a feud in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. At the same time, one follows two generations of a family that has gone from hillbilly to urbane, while its secretive members deal with a frightful past, an uncertain future and a little-known genetic disorder.
