McCammon, Robert Boy's Life
Pocket May 1, 1992 0-671-74305-8 / 9780671743055 Paperback Very Good
In 1964, 12-year-old Cory Mackenson lives with his parents in Zephyr, Alaba ma. It is a sleepy, comfortable town. Cory is helping with his father's mil k route one morning when a car plunges into the lake before their eyes. His father dives in after the car and finds a dead man handcuffed to the steer ing wheel. Their world no longer seems so innocent: a vicious killer hides among apparently friendly neighbors. Other, equally unsettling transmogrifi cations occur: a friend's father becomes a shambling bully under the influe nce of moonshine, decent men metamorphose into Klan bigots, "responsible" a dults flee when faced with danger for the first time. With the aid of unexp ected allies, Cory faces hair-raising dangers as he seeks to find the secre t of the dead man in the lake. McCammon writes an exciting adventure story. He also gives us an affecting tale of a young man growing out of childhood in a troubled place and time.

McCammon, Robert Speaks the Nightbird, Vol. 2: Evil Unveiled
Pocket October 1, 2003 0-7434-7139-3 / 9780743471398 Paperback Near Fine
A trial for witchcraft proves the tip of an iceberg of intrigues in this ab sorbing historical mystery, the first newly published novel in 10 years fro m McCammon (the book was written in the mid-'90s), a bestseller in the 1980 s with such supernatural novels in the Stephen King tradition as Usher's Pa ssing and Baal. Set in 1699 in Fount Royal, a coastal settlement in the col onial Carolinas, this latest unfolds the adventures of magistrate Isaac Woo dward and his assistant, Matthew Corbett, who have been summoned to the str uggling town to adjudicate in the trial of Rachel Howarth, a young widow ac cused of deviltry that is blamed for murders, wretched weather and other ca lamities driving settlers away. Though town leaders press for swift executi on, Matthew is persuaded by Rachel's dignity and fortitude that she's innoc ent. Using skills honed living by his wits as an orphaned child, he pursues inconsistencies in testimony and throwaway clues and uncovers an elaborate plot involving pirate booty, animal magnetism and deadly deceit at the hig hest levels of town organization. This robust tale is as historically detai led as it is long, and its recreation of an era where superstition held its own with enlightenment is among its strongest achievements. Anachronisms, improbably fortuitous coincidences and private dramas that make Fount Royal seem a pre-Revolutionary Peyton Place lard the plot, but Matthew's race ag ainst time to save Rachel with the rudimentary tools to hand makes a compul sively readable yarn. McCammon's loyal fans will find his resurfacing reaso n to rejoice. (Sept.) Forecast: Those who enjoyed the author's last three n

McCammon, Robert Speaks the Nightbird, Volume I : Judgment of the Witch
Pocket September 1, 20 0-7434-7432-5 / 9780743474320 Paperback Near Fine
After a ten-year absence from publishing, McCammon (Boy's Life) returns wit h this historical novel of colonial Carolina. In 1699, legal clerk Matthew Corbett accompanies magistrate Isaac Woodward to Fount Royal, where he has been summoned to decide whether a witch is living in the newly established settlement. The two are immediately thrown into danger, even before they re ach the town. And once there, they must deal with the inhabitants, some of whom stand to gain if Rachel, the accused, is executed. Soon it becomes obv ious to Matthew that everyone has secrets, even the magistrate. In the end, he alone must try to unravel the mysteries. While many of McCammon's prior novels dealt with the supernatural, his latest contains horrors that are m ore real. McCammon also provides extensive historical detail, re-creating t he legal procedures, medical practices, and everyday existence of the time. The language and situations are often disturbing, especially because many of the accusations against Rachel are sexual in nature, but McCammon tells a compelling story that should find a wide readership. Highly recommended f or popular fiction collections.
