Résumé
Rural New York in 1787. The great war that turned the former colonies into a fledgling nation is over. Or is it?In a remote cabin in the forest, Ralph Folsom, once a brilliant Shakespearean scholar but now the last remaining Tory in High Tide, ekes out a bitter impoverished existence. Hideously scarred by an act of vigilante justice and mentally scarred by the betrayal of his wife, nothing is left to him but his hatred - and no one gets a bigger dose of it than aristocrat and patriot Capt.
Aaron Collins, who was born to everything Ralph wanted. Aaron's got problems of his own. Stripped of this tenant lands following the war, saddled with a huge debt, and still reeling from the loss of the old flame who chose to marry Ralph Folsom instead, Aaron is too intent on the day-to-day struggles to notice that his enemy is sliding into madness - and threatening to drag him down with him. It is the summer of 1787, but old sins bite deep, and the event now driving Ralph over the edge goes back ten years, twenty years, and even before he and Aaron were born .

À propos de l'auteur
Biographie de Bev Kaufman
Bev Kaufman has been a hopelessly addicted bookworm since she got past the Dick and Jane nonsense in the first grade. Old Sins Bite Deep, previously released as In the Midst of Death, is Bev's first finished novel, combining her love of history and mystery into a Revolutionary War "whydunit" that pits an impoverished rebel against an embittered Tory. Her second book Transformations: A Whimsical Medusa Tale is irreverent, imaginative and as she puts it, was just plain fun to write.A third book, The Hambleton Saga, which deals with the English Civil War or the 12th Century, still languishes in a dungeon called writer's block, but other possibilities continue to peck like chicks trying to hatch out of her skull. These include The Madwoman in the Attic, an experimental attempt at narrative poetry in first person present tense, as well a collection of poems and short stories. With all that on her plate, it helps to be (semi) retired.
A former reporter, editor, and then-in a midlife career change- programmer, Bev Kaufman still works one day a week at her old job with MicroComputer Resources, and does copy-editing jobs on the side. She is also an active and enthusiastic member of the River of Grass Unitarian Universalist Congregation and the Lifelong Learning Institute. And still she finds time to write. A Floridian since 1980, she lives in Sunrise, Florida, currently alone, except for the pitter-patter of furry feline feet.
