Keller's sleuths are easy to like and the murder story is moving; but the object of fascination here is Wellwood, a state-run mental institution with a dark history as a repository for 'rebellious, unruly women.' --\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePulitzer Prize-winning author Julia Keller welcomes readers back to West Virginia, where her lyrical and moving stories of the people of her native state have unfolded since \u003ci\u003eA Killing in the Hills\u003c\/i\u003e, the acclaimed first novel in the series.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeep in the woods just outside Acker's Gap, West Virginia, rises a ragged chunk of what was once a high stone wall. This is all that remains of Wellwood, a psychiatric hospital for the poor that burned to the ground decades ago. And it is here that Bell Elkins - prosecutor turned private investigator - makes a grim discovery while searching for a missing teenager: A dead body, marred by a ghastly wound that can only mean murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo solve the mystery of what happened in these woods where she played as a child, Bell and her partners - former sheriff Nick Fogelsong and former deputy Jake Oakes - must confront the tangled history of Wellwood and its dark legacy, while each grapples with a private torment. Based on a true chapter in the troubled history of early treatment for psychiatric illness, \u003ci\u003eThe Cold Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of death and life, of despair and hope, of crime and - sometimes, but not always - punishment.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Keller\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and former cultural critic at the\u003ci\u003e Chicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, is the author of many books for adults and young readers, including \u003ci\u003eA Killing in the Hills\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book in the Bell Elkins series and winner of the Barry Award for Best First Novel (2013); \u003ci\u003eBack Home\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Intercept\u003c\/i\u003e.
