The Ainsworth Killings of 1879 - Paperback

by J. L. Willow (Author)

Missouri, 1879. Levi Oakley and his younger brother live on their father's farm in the small town of Ainsworth. Their simple lives are suddenly uprooted when one of their classmates is brutally killed - and Levi finds himself under suspicion. To convince the town of his innocence, the boy must hunt down the real culprit and uncover what truly happened that fateful night. He soon realizes, however, that whoever he's searching for is far more dangerous than he initially believed. And with his father's continued insistence that he stay away from the ominous woods bordering the farm, Levi begins to wonder whether a murderer on the loose is the only thing he should be scared of.
