Book Description
'Ma'am, we're conducting a police inquiry and would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.' Gary thought Ma'am seemed an oddly inappropriate form of address for this recently pubescent young girl. Standing there pale and wide-eyed, she looked more like a waif than a woman. Yet addressing her as Miss would have been even less suitable. After all, she was cradling a baby. Gary Ambrose is a rookie police office in the community of Belvista, and he's struggling to get along with his new partner, Dan. What's worse, they've found the first murder anyone can think of in a long time. At first glance, there are no witnesses, no motives, and no evidence. All Gary and Dan can do is continue to question the neighbors and try to find some sort of trail. Elizabeth Webster is a young single mother who just found out that her landlord has been murdered. Sensing her distress, her mother convinces her niece, Maureen, to visit. But Maureen and Elizabeth haven't been very close since Maureen's baby was kidnapped almost a year before. And two officers won't stop pestering her about Old Will Brount's death. As Gary tries desperately to find a lead and prove himself as an officer, the details of Old Will Brount's character start to unravel. Elizabeth reveals the ugly truth about her family to her cousin, and another body is found dead. Follow the twisted maze of lies and deceit as Officer Ambrose investigates the case of The Poison Pit.

Book Description
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • From one of our most heralded writers comes the “poetic, disturbing, yet very funny” (The Washington Post Book World) life-and-death adventures of three misfit teenagers in the American desert. Alice, Corvus, and Annabel, each a motherless child, are an unlikely circle of friends. One filled with convictions, another with loss, the third with a worldly pragmatism, they traverse an air-conditioned landscape eccentric with signs and portents—from the preservation of the living dead in a nursing home to the presentation of the dead as living in a wildlife museum—accompanied by restless, confounded adults. A father lusts after his handsome gardener even as he's haunted (literally) by his dead wife; a heartbroken dog runs afoul of an angry neighbor; a young stroke victim drifts westward, his luck running from worse to awful; a sickly musician for whom Alice develops an attraction is drawn instead toward darker imaginings and solutions; and an aging big-game hunter finds spiritual renewal through his infatuation with an eight-year-old—the formidable Emily Bliss Pickless. With nature thoroughly routed and the ambiguities of existence on full display, life and death continue in directions both invisible and apparent. Gloriously funny and wonderfully serious, The Quick and the Dead limns the vagaries of love, the thirst for meaning, and the peculiar paths by which all creatures are led to their destiny. A panorama of contemporary life and an endlessly surprising tour de force: penetrating and magical, ominous and comic, this is the most astonishing book yet in Joy Williams's illustrious career. Joy Williams belongs, James Salter has written, "in the company of Céline, Flannery O'Connor, and Margaret Atwood."
