Review of Chiefs

Beginning in 1920, Chiefs, authored by Stuart Woods, spans 40 years, chronicling the experiences of three Georgia police chiefs who watch the world, their town and their jobs, change. At the heart of this incredible read is a 40-year-old mystery each chief must try to crack.

In the winter of 1920, the first body is found in Delano, Georgia; the naked corpse of an unidentified teenager. 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.

PWBC thoroughly enjoyed this Stuart Woods award-winning novel and rated it an 8.
