Sinossi

In The Absence Of Fact chronicles the search for the perpetrator of the murder of Span Duval, Scion of a prominent Kentucky family whose body was discovered in the soft moonlight of a September night in nineteen fifty-seven. Solving the crime came under the jurisdiction of the sheriff of Richland County, Arthur Jamison, and a cast of associates he could not foresee. The twists and turns of the case flayed pretense from suspects and investigators alike as it ripped into the social fabric of Fort Keys and the dichotomy of staid old families and a roadhouse culture long afforded a blind eye by polite southern society. Fort Keys, a mirror image of small southern towns in the first half of the twentieth century, harbored dark secrets too numerous to allow it to be at ease with a good deal of scrutiny. Polish and genteel manners marked the flawless surface of southern society while turbulent currents of degeneration and infidelity roiled its murky depths. The South, for better or worse, had arrived at the close of an era.
