<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A <em>Wall Street Journal</em> Best Mystery of 2020<br /><br /> You would be hard-pressed to find a finer new series than Tom Bouman's Henry Farrell novels because of the complexity of the plots or the richness of the characters, but what it really comes down to is just damn good writing. --Craig Johnson<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A headless stranger is found in the woods of Wild Thyme, a small town in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. All signs point to a man-killing bear, and Officer Henry Farrell would just as soon leave this hunt to the Game Commission. But doubts arise when he discovers the victim was a retired investigator. What drew the investigator to sleepy Wild Thyme? Before Henry can find answers, his own nephew disappears into the hills. Then an old flame dies under suspicious circumstances, leaving Henry as the prime suspect. Torn between protecting his family and clearing his name, Henry fights to protect the most he's ever had to lose.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Praise for the Henry Farrell novels: </strong> </p><p> <strong>DRY BONES IN THE VALLEY</strong> </p><p>[A] mesmerizing and often terrifying story.<br /> - <strong><em>Washington Post</em></strong></p><p>Rural noir at its finest: a poetically written mystery.<br /> - <strong><em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p><p>An authenticity of place and character rare in any form of literature.<br /> - <strong>Ivan Doig</strong></p><p>A tough, edgy thriller.<br /> - <strong>Wiley Cash</strong></p><p>So smooth it's as if it was written on spring water.
