Hot Off the Presses: "The Tenth Virgin" by Gary Stewart from Brash Books
A new
edition of a great mystery novel is officially on the street: The Tenth Virgin,
by Gary Stewart. Set in Salt Lake City and Southern Utah in the mid-1980s, The
Tenth Virgin introduces New York private eye Gabe Utley, as he searches for
the missing teenage daughter of his high school sweetheart. The trail takes him
from Salt Lake City to the poverty-stricken polygamist clans in Southern Utah. The
Tenth Virgin is richly detailed with a vivid setting, believable
characterization, and sizzling mystery.
The new Brash
Books edition, bringing The Tenth Virgin back into print after more
than 30 years, includes an Introduction by an unsung writer – I think his name
is Ben Boulden – and is available as a trade paperback and on Kindle.
Check out
my critical article about Gary Stewart at Dark City Underground, which
is suspiciously similar to The Tenth Virgin’s Introduction, and (more
importantly) read the book!
Don't judge a book by its cover, I think. It sounds better than it looks IMO.
ReplyDeleteLol. It really is an enjoyable book. A nice 1980s feel to it and something of an exotic locale with Mormons, polygamists, and about everything in between.
