Since its inception, the Deborah Knott series has garnered all the top mystery prizes and received overwhelming accolades. In Deborah Knott, Margaret Maron has created an evolving, brilliantly realized, and highly popular character who claims more fans with each book. Now in her newest triumph starring the keen-thinking judge and investigator, Maron presents an engrossing tale of Southern arts and sudden death...

The dark earth in the piedmont of North Carolina’s Randolph County is heavy with bright red clay. And it is this same rich soil that attracts many of the South’s most skilled potters. Also drawn to this region is the visiting judge Deborah Knott, who is there for decidedly different reasons. Deborah faces the most exasperating case a judge can handle--overseeing the equitable distribution of marital property. The antagonists are James Lucas Nordan and Sandra Kay Hitchcock, both potters who are bitterly divorcing after almost twenty-five years of marriage.

Very Good. Nice book with light shelf wear.
