Follow on Google News | New in Detective Fiction: What the Spider SawGary D. Kessler's new mystery novel, WHAT THE SPIDER SAW, is inspired by an historical and legendary murder case that occured in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1904 and is spun into a current-day fictional drama with many parallels.
By: Cedar Creek Publishing, Linda M. Layne, Publisher WHAT THE SPIDER SAW is a work of fiction built on the foundation of the original McCue murder case, but set in a different century and with, of course, an entirely different set of characters. It uses the loose structure of a selection of the “facts” of the original case as a foil to twist the crime and basic associated characters to whole new possibilities and uses. Wes Lederman, a private investigator from Harrisonburg, Virginia, has been hired by Charlottesville’ Advance Review: "Rich in history and detail, Gary D. Kessler spins a web of intrigue in WHAT THE SPIDER SAW. In Wes Lederman it's also nice to see another fictional private eye trolling the streets of Central Virginia. Pavlicek and I will have to keep an eye out for him." -- ANDY STRAKA, Shamus Award Winning Author of the Frank Pavlicek Mystery Series ISBN 978-0-9839192- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 • 240 Pages • $18 Publication Date - March 1, 2012 Available Wholesale from Ingram & Publisher; Online at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, IndieBound.org About the Author: GARY D.
