A Murder in Yorktown
Yorktown, a small fictional town in the Southern United States, experiences its first murder in 114 years. The town scrambles to find the murderer, who ends up being who they least expected-Michael Winterbottom, a gallant soldier during World War II, a family man, and a hard worker. New lawyer Jacques Bourgeois is tasked with securing a life sentence for Michael, which he does successfully. Despite what Michael did, the town comes together to forgive him, and they later show compassion for him in his final days with cancer. This book explores the impact of crime and death on this small town, the power of religion as a tool one can use to their advantage, and how forgiveness of a murderer-a rare act of kindness-worked out well for Yorktown.
