Edna Buchanan
Edna Buchanan's novel, A Dark and Lonely Place (Simon & Schuster, $26.00), poses the question: can we change our destiny? In Miami, Police Detective Sgt. John Ashley hunts a woman linked to a murdered millionaire and finds she is the girl who has haunted his dreams since childhood. A century earlier, Ashley’s ancestor was wrongly accused of murder and went on the run. The lovers became the most colorful, compelling, and heartbreaking figures in Florida’s violent outlaw history. Can the present-day couple break the tragic cycle imprinted on their DNA? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buchanan is the author of 18 books.
