If You Like T.R. Pearson Books, You’ll Love…
The book Eaglesworth tells the story of a Georgia mansion of the same name. The house is in a small Virginia town that is not easily found on most maps. There is a bit of history here in the town as it is the place where General Longstreet’s army retired from a defeat. There are many secrets to the renovation and they are told by a collection of barflies, civic boosters and gossips who each tell this story of this place in their own unique way.
Another good book by Pearson is Theory of the Case. The book tells the story of a corrupt police detective who now sees himself semi-retired in Tidewater, Virginia. When he stumbles onto an unsolved homicide, he’s thinking of leaving it unsolved as that was always his nature. The people around him have other ideas though and drag him into the investigation and he gets a shot at redemption. The man’s friends refuse to let him continue doing what he’s always done and are determined to get him to solve this case.
