The undertaker's wife / Loren D. Estleman. by Estleman, Loren D. Thorndike Press, 2013, c2005. Call #: LP FICTION EST Subjects Married women -- Fiction.   Funeral rites and ceremonies -- Fiction.   Undertakers and undertaking -- Fiction.   Capitalists and financiers -- Fiction.   Suicide victims -- Fiction.   Secrecy -- Fiction.   Spur Award.   San Francisco (Calif.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781410456281 Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  422 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. Notes:  "Gale Cengage Learning". Summary:  "Estleman picks an unpopular profession and draws from it two compelling characters, and a memorable love story as well. Circa 1900, retired undertaker Richard Connable is pressed back into service by a cabal of powerful men who want him to work his "invisible art" on the corpse of a major financier who has committed suicide (the men want to disguise the cause of death and thereby avert economic panic). In his absence, Richard's estimable wife, Lucy, sensing the approach of her own death, recalls their story: the adventures that took them to Michigan, San Francisco, Kansas, Montana and elsewhere; Richard's professional development and friendship with Wild Bill Hickock; and the death of Richard and Lucy's only child. Well researched and meticulously detailed, offering a vivid picture of Victorian America, the novel is also marked by moments of grace and wit."--Publisher's Weekly. Awards:  Winner of the Spur Award for Best Western Novel (long), 2006. Genre:  Psychological fiction. Historical fiction. Western stories.
