Vicki Lane, of Madison County, returns to City Lights on Friday, October 8th at 7:30 p.m. to read from her new mystery novel, entitled The Day of Small Things (Dell, $7.99) Lane's previous mysteries featured sleuth Elizabeth Goodweather, but the new book takes a somewhat different turn that will delight her fans. In the misty folds of Appalachia, the girl they call Least grows up cursed by her mother's cruelty and blessed by her neglect. Deemed unfit to join the outside world, Least turns to the wisdom of the land, to voices she alone can hear, to legends left by native Indians, and to the arts of divination and healing. Now, as her life enters its final chapter, her world has been invaded by a violent criminal with a chilling plan. To stop him from committing an unspeakable crime--and to free an innocent child--the woman who was once Least must break long-held promises, draw on long-buried powers, and face a darkness no one else can even see.
