ABOUT THE AUTHOR
© Rita Stout
David Stout spent nearly twenty-eight years as a reporter and editor for the New York Times. His first novel, Carolina Skeletons, 1988, won an Edgar Award and was adapted for a television movie. There has been renewed interest in the case that inspired the novel: the 1944 execution of a fourteen-year-old boy in South Carolina for the murder of two little girls. A South Carolina judge threw out the conviction in December 2014, declaring that the quick trial and execution constituted “a great and fundamental injustice.” Stout’s other novels are Night of the Ice Storm, 1991, and The Dog Hermit, 1993 (renamed A Child Is Missing for a 1995 TV
