Murder Opens Pandora’s Box of Small Town Secrets in Pearl, Published by Outskirts Press
Seattle, WA, November 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Pearl: A Life Too Short; A Death Too Long joins two previous novels by Ms. Cox: A Little Bit of Larceny, published in 2008, and Web of Deceit, published in 2009.
Pearl is a 5 x 8 paperback in the crime fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/Darlene_Cox was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
When Pearl Sutton’s brutally beaten body is discovered a few miles north of Faircloth, Virginia, the investigation of her death will open a Pandora’s box of small town secrets--some of which have lain dormant for over twenty years. It will also prompt questions: Who was Pearl? What motivated her bizarre behavior? Was she the town “whore” or merely a “misunderstood”young woman? What was the secret behind the strange May-December marriage between her and Gus Sutton? Who would kill Pearl? Her husband, Gus? Her current lover? Or, was Pearl just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The discovery of the charred remains of another young woman, and the homicidal assault of another, will reveal more secrets and prompt even more questions: Who was the young woman living in the old abandoned house that became her funeral pyre? Who would brutally assault another young woman, leaving her in a catatonic state with little hope of recovery? Were all three incidents related? Or were they the random acts of a madman concealing a hidden rage. Sheriff Atherton and his deputies will have their hands full trying to solve the puzzle--until mistakes and missteps of the killer provide the answers.
383 pages in length, Pearl: A Life Too Short; A Death Too Long is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the crime fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Pearl meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $19.95.
