Summary
"Grave Creek Connections" is a mystery set in both Pennsylvania and West Virginia, in fictional George County, a stand-in for Greene County, Pennsylvania. Morris said he fictionalized the county so readers would not assume his characters were real people.
The story centers on a police investigation of the disappearance of college co-eds whose bodies are found in nearby hunting lands. The clueless investigators, in desperation, turn to a couple of local psychics.
There is plenty of authentic history, pseudohistory, and great-sounding nonsense here to satisfy lovers of the mysterious and supernatural—plus visits to an abandoned penitentiary, the real-life Hare Krishna temple in West Virginia, and the surprising discovery of a buried runestone connected to the early Mormons. Someone confesses to the murders, or so it first appears . . . but holes in the story lead investigators deeper, and a couple of loose-lips speak, and the mystery begins to unravel as they discover a shocking cult, quietly populated with the town's eminent businesspeople.
It's a quick read and good fun, with an unexpected and shocking ending that made the book's editor's spine crawl.
