A Letter From the Editor
Already a master mystery writer, Nancy Pickard boldly forges into new suspenseful territory in her superb novel, The Virgin of Small Plains.
I could list countless adjectives -- evocative, powerful, captivating -- to describe the poignancy and emotional heft of this work. Simply put, The Virgin of Small Plains casts a literary spell. But don't take my word for it; start reading this terrific novel and you'll no doubt agree.
Sincerely,
Linda Marrow,
Vice President, Editorial Director,
