Publisher's Note
A rollicking novel filled with unusal wisdom and rare humor follows Clayton, a notorious ne'er'do'well who is known for his devotion to pornographic movies on the satin channel, as he suffers a dramatic personality change that bestows upon him prophetic gifts that win him fame and adulation and force Deputy Ray Tatum to solve the mystery surrounding Clayton's condition.

Industry Reviews
"These characters may not be as hilariously eccentric as some in Pearson's previous books, but they are equally--and insidiously--memorable."
Publishers Weekly (08/14/2000)

"Fans of Pearson's six wonderful novels...may find his latest disappointing. The prose here is leaner, with little narrative expansiveness and less backslapping geniality....[L]ess than his best, but still ahead of the pack."
Kirkus Reviews (09/15/2000)

"BLUE RIDGE is much funnier than most mysteries: not too broad, not too dry, effortlessly finding the right tone, time after time....Practitioners and fans of the mystery genre have long used Faulkner to shore up its sometimes shaky reputation. sooner or later, they'll be doing the same with T. R. Pearson."
New York Times Book Review - Jacqueline Carey (10/29/2000)
