Heinous as any murder can be, the crime is not the story here - the crime serves as mere impetus to what really happened. And that proved unforgettable to any old enough to remember.
The unnamed state in which these events occurred had for nearly two centuries flaunted its renegade spirit, thumbing its nose at Washington. A succession of maverick governors, including one who engineered the state's four-year secession during the Civil War, had served to fashion the commonwealth into a virtual landlocked island unto itself. Only Louisiana rivaled its no-nonsense prisons, only Texas its record on capital punishment.
So when Brady Wayne Darby, a no-account loser raised in a dingy trailer park encounters Thomas Carey, a weary man of God, an entire state - indeed, a nation - is affected.
