She Walks These Hills

This story is a deft combination of historical fiction in the guise of the story of Katie Wyler, and modern police procedural depicting a manhunt for a murderer who has escaped from jail after 30 years. It also includes the story of a doctoral candidate in history who is hiking through the Tennessee mountains as part of his research into the story of Katie Wyler. The different threads of the tale all come together at the climax, where characters from the different stories meet in the mountains. The mystery is not difficult to figure out, but the story is beautifully told.
