It was just your average day surveying: discovering an abandoned cemetery and a lynching tree, dealing with a corrupt banker and an ax-wielding ghost. Then Addison fell in love with Eleanor, and things got scary.

Addison Kane is thirty-nine, a workaholic loner whose best friends are his landlady, a good book, and a shot of Irish whiskey. One rainy day while working out of town, he meets and falls in love with Eleanor the History Lady, who excites and challenges him like no woman he has ever known. Is this it? After all these years, has he finally found The One? What does her husband think?

At work, Addie begins investigating the Conley Land Trust and its creator, the dynamic Elizabeth Theodora Conley Burroughs, whose death in 1968 did nothing to loosen her grip on the land. Researching the trust, now valued at eleven and a half million dollars, he meets Dick the Turd, a ruthless banker with a plan to steal it. Then Addie sees the ghost of Isaac Cooper, and Isaac begins haunting his dreams, seeking justice.

With help and advice from instrument man Steve, Lawyer Frank, and retired Army Ranger Sergeant-Major John Tyler, Addie must try to thwart the banker. Somehow he must figure out exactly how to satisfy Isaac's ghost, so he can sleep again. And if he's ever going to find The One and settle down, now is the time.

It's a hell of a job, but someone's gotta do it.

L'autore

David L. Bradley left the blue-collar world in his mid-forties to enroll in college and indulge his love for digging into the past. Nowadays, when not making documentary films about the American South or teaching kids how to make movies, he writes novels and screenplays set against her history. He lives in Atlanta with his wife, his two children, a dog, a cat, and a hundred squirrels. His hobbies are studiously avoiding hobbies and collecting wrinkles. He speaks fluent Southern, and he is a honors graduate of Vacation Bible School, having attended from 1966 until 1971.

It was definitely one of those books you don’t want to put down great mystery right to the end I really enjoyed the history and the joy of surveying
Was made exciting not boring as I assumed it must be. If the rest of David Bradley’s books are this good I will be a follower for sure

5,0 su 5 stelle The Enigma...Addison Kane
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 marzo 2013

This was one of the most enjoyable reads I've had recently. Addison Kane is an intriguing character. He is intelligent and adventuresome...a real man's man. At the same time, he is empathetic, loyal, and not afraid to show just the right amount of his "softer side." All of these attributes make him a believable and likable character for both men and women.

The processes involved in surveying were presented in an interesting, easy-to-understand manner, even for the layman (or laywoman). Not being a "spring chicken," I try to master a new task, incorporate a new word into my vocabulary, or learn some tidbit of trivia or useless information each day, so I appreciate the fact that I had a learning experience while enjoying the content of this book.

I'm not normally a fan of historical novels, but The Dead Hand of Sweeney County brought just the right mix of present-day events and history, allowing the reader to be drawn to it gently. The plot and events flowed smoothly throughout this novel, which kept me cheering for Addison.

David Bradley brought this work to a conclusion that left me hoping to read more about the journey of Addison Kane in his quest to reach the life of his dreams. I wish him the best.

This is one of those rare stories that have a little something for everyone. It's not often that an author can pull off successfully telling a story that fits into more than one genre, but David L. Bradley does just that with The Dead Hand of Sweeney County.

As an avid reader of many types of stories, the mystery surrounding the Conley Land Trust riveted me and drew me in. Bradley does a superb job of crafting the story, weaving Southern history together with surveying knowledge and flavoring it with a bit of a romantic dalliance and a dash of the supernatural. The characters, everyone from the hero Addison Kane to townspeople to the ladies in his life -- romantic, platonic and of a bygone era -- are all intriguing and well developed. The skill with which Bradley created the journal entries of Elizabeth Conley from the early 1900's is impressive; I found those pieces of the story especially delicious and remarkable. Bradley also did a commendable job of wrapping this story up nicely while still leaving the door open for future Adventures of Addison Kane installments.

The editor in me is what puts The Dead Hand of Sweeney County at four stars instead of five. There are a few punctuation errors throughout as well as a handful of instances of grammatical slips. These would temporarily draw my attention away from the story while I made note of how a phrase should have been worded or momentarily pondered what Bradley actually meant to say. And while the story in general flows smoothly and is engaging, one of the encounters between Addison and his married lover's husband seemed awkward and out of place. Although I could see what purpose the author intended the event to serve, the incident takes the reader on an unnecessary detour. The information imparted through this one unfortunate scene could have been conveyed in a different way.

None of those comparatively small issues would keep me from recommending The Dead Hand of Sweeney County, as overall it is captivating, entertaining and is a book worth reading -- one I am already recommending to friends and family.

This is a blend of flavours: historical-comical -tragical or surveyical-romantical-redemptional. It doesn't quite settle happily but the main character makes it a readable tale. Perhaps a shade too much job detail and over-explanation but never enough that demands paragraph skipping to get to the meat of the story. The plot flesh is a little stringy (not a bad pun on the lynching) with the other-world dream messaging, but swallowable.
Not a kingly feast but will suffice if your favourite fare isn't on hand.
