All the Dead Lie Down

Mary Willis Walker's first novel, Zero at the Bone, won both the Agatha and Macavity Awards and was nominated for an Edgar.  Her second, The Red Scream, won the Edgar Award for Best Novel of 1994.  Her third, Under the Beetle's Cellar, won the Hammett Prize, the Macavity Award, and the Agatha Award for 1995.  

Now she returns with All the Dead Lie Down, an emotionally charged double mystery that puts her definitively in the class of other outstanding crime writers whose work has joined the ranks of bestselling mainstream fiction.  

When true-crime reporter Molly Cates's father died more than twenty-five years ago, his death was ruled a suicide, and Molly's efforts to prove otherwise led to nothing but anguish and the breakup of her family.  Now, with access to new information, she is determined to reopen the investigation, but the answers she finds are devastating and leave her with an even more difficult moral dilemma.  To make matters worse, while caught up in her own misery, Molly becomes aware of a terrifying plot to kill everyone in the Texas state legislature--a conspiracy only she will be able to stop, if she can get there in time!

Once again, Mary Willis Walker has written an extraordinary mystery that will thrill listeners to the core.  All the Dead Lie Down is as rich in character and emotion as it is in plot and heart-stopping suspense.
