Preview Lonely Graves: a Texas Murder Trilogy
Description:
Journalist and novelist Pete Hamill once said, “There is a growing feeling that perhaps Texas is really another country, a place where the skies, the disasters, the diamonds, the politicians, the women, the fortunes, the football players and the murders are all bigger than anywhere else.” That observation proved true in the early years of the Texas Panhandle. Three sensational murder cases made national and international headlines. Each involved a husband murdering his wife. But the similarity ends there. One was a preacher, one a farmer the other an attorney. One used poison, another an axe while the other placed explosives behind the seat of the family car. There was a time when all six subjects’ names, husbands and the wives they killed were notoriously famous and news services carried the latest details in each case to newspapers all over the country. Today all lie in Lonely Graves, where only occasional curiosity seekers visit the sites. Author Lana Payne Barnett has woven a tale of deceit, false pride, rage and the ultimate, murder, into an account that is a page-turner. She began her research years ago when her father, A.D. Payne, told her about a man who shared his name, a man who had murdered his wife and maimed his son. He was understandably curious about the case and asked her to see if she could learn the details. By the time she did, her father had died and, curiously, was buried in the same cemetery as the murderer who shared his name.
