Dry Bones in the Valley: A Henry Farrell Novel (The Henry Farrell Series) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

A stark, stirring debut mystery set in the hills of rural Pennsylvania.

When an elderly recluse discovers a corpse on his land,
Officer Henry Farrell is drawn into his first murder
investigation, a case he has little hope of closing. In Wild
Thyme Township, secrets and feuds go back generations.
Meth labs and heroin dealers are sprouting like mushrooms in
the woods, and the steady encroachment of gas drilling has
brought new wealth and discord. When danger strikes close
to home, Henry’s hunt for the killer will open old wounds,
dredge up ancient crimes, and lead to a final, deadly reckoning.
As Daniel Woodrell did for the Ozarks and Dennis Lehane
does for gritty South Boston, Tom Bouman immerses readers
in rural northeastern Pennsylvania, a region now undergoing
profound changes. Mystery readers will love fiddle-playing,
deer-hunting Henry Farrell, a bashful local cop with a wry
voice and hidden depths.
