Publisher Description
The compelling thriller that launched the career of best-selling novelist Stuart Woods in an anniversary hardcover edition.
In the bitter winter of 1920, the first body is found in Delano, Georgia; the naked corpse of an unidentified teenager. There is no direct evidence of murder, but the body bears marks of what seems to be a ritual beating. The investigation falls to Will Henry Lee, a failed cotton farmer newly appointed as Delano's first chief of police. Lee's obsession with the crime begins a story that weaves through the decades, following the life of a small southern town and the role of three police chiefs in unraveling the crime. Chiefs is the best kind of thriller, where the investigation plays out against the drama beneath the surface of a seemingly placid community, seething with the pressures of race, love, hate, and; always; political power, extending from the town fathers all the way to Washington, DC. With a new foreword by the author, this volume will be a collector's treasure for all fans of Stuart Woods.

Great story and read. This first Woods book is a five star page turner. No wonder it won the award. Second read just as good.

Stuart Woods book Chiefs kept me interested from beginning to end. The continuing action pack storyline kept me interested from from the first page to the last page also I enjoy the mini series base on the book Chiefs when it was on TV. Kevin
