Requirements: ePUB Reader, 348 KB
Overview: In 1934 all the national publications sent their star reporters to remote Virginia to cover the trial of Erma Morton: a beautiful 21-year-old year old mountain girl with a teaching degree, accused of murdering her father–a drunken tyrant of a man.
Eager for a new cause celebre to capture the public’s imagination, they were counting on reports of horse-drawn buggies, run-down shacks, children in thread-bare clothes–all of the stereotypes of mountain life. But among them is Carl Jennings, an 18-year-old mountain boy on his first job. An eager, honest journalist, he reports accurately–describing telephones, electricity, gas stations, and coal company executives.
So when their reports conflict, Carl is condemned, while the seasoned journalists perpetuate the myths of country life and Erma Morton’s guilt or innocence is literally sold to the highest bidder a wronged woman on trial sells papers. Soon, it is not the murder that is of interest: but the vultures attracted by the deaths. In the midst of all this, Carl continues to search for the truth, relying on his younger cousin, Nora gifted with the "sight" for help.
A stunning return to the lands, ballads and characters upon which she made her name, Devil Amongst the Lawyers is a testament to Sharyn McCrumb’s lyrical and poetic writing.
