Abner and his nephew Martin encounter a group of armed vigilantes in the woods. Can Abner prevent them from lynching a pair of innocent men?
Leighann Davidson, chair of the Criminal Justice department at West Virginia State University, joins us to discuss the complex and diverse criminal justice field—and how vigilante "justice" is a little more complicated than what movies and comic books might have us believe.
This audio production contains the full text of Melville Davisson Post's story, "A Twilight Adventure" from the collection Uncle Abner: Master of Mysteries. A copy of the book can be obtained from West Virginia University Press.
