Still Life with Crows

Medicine Creek, Kansas. In a town where nothing changes, where Main Street is a two-block stretch of old and dusty businesses, a peculiar and ghastly murder has taken place. The body was mutilated and placed carefully in an elaborate tableau in the middle of the endless cornfields. Cool-eyed and smooth FBI Agent Pendergast arrives to discover a community in terror, a community he must turn inside out to find the killer who can only be one of them. Now, Pendergast must discover the twisted secret hiding within a four-generation Kansas family-before the killer strikes again.
