Let Me Die in His Footsteps

Summary

Set in 1950s Kentucky, the novel follows young Annie Holleran, who possesses an unsettling gift of sight and longs to uncover the truth behind a long buried family tragedy and a feud between neighboring farms. Roy weaves rural superstition, a generations old secret, and the harsh realities of two sisters into an atmospheric Southern Gothic mystery. The lush, foreboding setting and slow revelation of buried wrongs mark Roy as a distinctive voice in literary crime fiction.
