Clinch River Justice
by Alfred Patrick
In
Clinch River Justice, a boy matures
into manhood, falls in love, and begins to find his way in life. As an
inexperienced but idealistic deputy sheriff, this young man, Charley Scott,
faces a rash of deaths in a normally idyllic, peaceful Appalachian community in
the early 1940s. These deaths of neighbors and a beloved family member result
when greed, passion, jealousy, hopelessness, or utter disdain for the life or
welfare of another human overcomes some residents’ sense of fidelity and of
right and wrong. In the young deputy’s endeavors to apprehend killers and in
his quest for justice, he learns how difficult that simple concept is to
achieve.
