Intruders in the Meadow

By Corley Dennison

In his second novel, author Corley Dennison brings to life a story of political intrigue, culture shock, and murder when reporter Clay Spurgeon returns to his hometown of North Thacker, West Virginia.

A news story of unusual happenings in North Thacker makes national headlines. Residents are shocked when hordes of reporters descend on their sleepy little town. Shock turns to anger as locals feel the news reports portray the town in stereotypical and condescending images.

One local candidate for mayor decides to use that anger to his political advantage. Tensions rise, and tragedy strikes.

Set in the Bicentennial year of 1976, Intruders in the Meadow is a compelling story of the best and worst of human instincts, with themes that still resonate today.
