Warner moved his wife and children to a new land in hopes of finding peace and prosperity. Instead, he discovered that violence remained rampant in Lafayette County, Missouri, where his dreams of a new life turned into a family nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Soaring with Vultures\" presents a fictional account of a real 1868 killing that nearly tore the Warner family asunder. It captures an era rent by lynchings, bushwhackers, and political strife--remnants of the Civil War--and shows how the ubiquitous violence ensnared even the most upstanding of families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is told through the eyes of Colonel Warner's son, Leslie, whose openness and youthful idealism are repeatedly put to the test. He has a front-row seat for the family drama involving his sister, Sallie, who marries Missourian Sam Nutter, only to find he's a drunk, a thief, and a liar. After she files for divorce, Sam launches a campaign of terror against the Warners that culminates in a fatal shooting and a first-degree murder trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor recommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A contentious divorce, a thirst for revenge, and suspenseful courtroom drama--all tantalizing elements in Dan Kelly's debut novel, set against the backdrop of tumultuous post-Civil War Missouri.
