Stuart Woods' Edgar(r) Award-winning novel spans fifty years of racial tension, politics, and murder in the small Southern town of Delano, Georgia, where a depraved killer claims his innocent victims even as three very different generations of policemen seek to stop him. For the people of Delano, Georgia, 1920 was a landmark year. That winter they elected their first police chief, built the first jail. . .and discovered the first body -- the naked, brutalized corpse o a young boy.

5.0 Chiefs
4-1/2 stars, but I'll round up. I really liked the setting of the novel - the historical aspects of Georgia from the 1920s to 1960s. I believe Chiefs was a mini series back in the day, and its one I will have to look up online.
