"Dark Hollow" is yet another of Green's fascinating legal thrillers, full of horror and spine chilling suspense. In this brilliant story, a "woman in purple" shows up at the house of a small village judge to challenge his verdict that many years before has convicted the local inn-keeper of a brutal murder. When the judge reaffirms his belief of her inn-keeper guilt, the mysterious woman, who is the wife of the convicted man, assumes the position of a maid to secretly gather evidence for proving her husband innocence.
