Product Description
AFTER ELI IS the story of three women who encounter the most formidable of dangers--an enchanting man. Though strangers are rare in the town of Yale, and a recent double murder is still unsolved, itinerant actor Michael O'Rear wins over the people of the remote Appalachian village. Intrigued by a legend of hidden money, Michael uses his actor's talents and his gift of hypnotically lyrical gab to win the empathy, and then the hearts, of the three Pettit women: Rachel, alone since her husband Eli left seven years before; her daughter, Sarah; and even her distrusting older sister, Flora. Each woman takes pleasure in Michael, whose charm and wit draw them inexorably into his play of madness--a drama of psychological horror that threatens the weak and unsuspecting.

After Eli,

This review is from: After Eli (Hardcover)
"After Eli" is a beautifully written work of prose. The protagonist is so believable, you know him in the first chapter. I mean really know him! Terry Kay is a master writer who peels back the layers of emotions, like the petals of a rose, to get to the core of his characters' feelings.Michael, a charming fortune-seeker, ingratiates himself to three lonely women while he searches for the hidden treasure of Eli. He is the ultimate seducer. Terry Kay is one of America's finest writer, and "After Eli" is possibly his best work. 5 of 10 people found the following review helpful
