"Imagine your eagle-eyed high school English teacher turned sleuth to upturn every rock in your sleepy small Southern town and see what slithers out when the stakes are murderously high" -- Cecelia Tishy, author of Jealous Heart and Fall to Pieces

JANET BIERY has taught school in rural Tennessee for years so the fictional small town Winslow is a natural setting for her first novel. A founder of the Cookeville Creative Writers Association, she is also a member of the Smoky Mountain Chapter of Romance Writers of America and the Knoxville Branch of National League of American Pen Women. Although Potter's Field is Janet's first published novel, her short stories have been published in romance and mystery magazines.

ON THE BACK COVER: Winslow is a sleepy Southern town where everyone knows everything about everyone, or at least they think they do until Edna Potter, the resident dragon, shocks the community by suddenly retiring from her post as the high school English teacher. It seems the dour spinster has been taking mail-order detective courses over the years and is ready for a new career as a private eye. Edna turns from terrorizing teens in the classroom to tailing suspects and uncovering dirt in the case of a runaway teenager. Soon Edna is up to her second chin in trouble, but Edna keeps on coming, discovering family scandals, a missing wife, and finally a murdered high school football hero. It's her suspects who are running for cover, because they know there's no way around the indomitable Miss Potter.
