The devil's bones

Late August of 2004 finds Deputy Jordan McManus in the bed of a former girlfriend early one morning while drought grips Dukaine, Indiana. Like the drought that grips the area, McManus is gripped by the past.

This book draws you in, and could very well take place in this year's drought and heat. A pond in Indiana dries up, revealing the bones of a long-dead child, and starting a cycle of revenge and coverup that began decades before.

Readers familiar with Larry D. Sweazy's (much deserved) award-winning Western novels and short stories will find THE DEVIL'S BONES, his new mystery, to be a gripping read sure to top a number of this year's "Best of" lists.
