Centred around the small California town of San Douglas, Where the Bones Lie is an electrifying new mystery noir novel, perfect for fans of Jordan Harper.
Relentless climate change-driven drought has dried up a lake ... revealing an old, rusty barrel. Inside the barrel, the local police discover a skeleton belonging to Ken Ironwood, a notorious L.A. smuggler who rubbed shoulders in the 1980s and 90s with gangsters and movie stars.
Ken Ironwood's ultra-hip daughter, Madeline, wants to figure out who killed her father. In her desperation, she turns to Dash McClane, a former Hollywood fixer and bagman for the studios. McClane's life is spiralling the drain, but he's willing to help Madeline because her quest seems righteous and he's looking for a little redemption. Together, they drive to San Douglas and confront crooked cops, stuntmen-turned-thugs, and a mysterious winery owner with something big to hide.
As they investigate, Dash and Madeline form a deep bond over their shared losses and a cynical view of the world. They become quite a pair: resourceful, cunning, and relentlessly sarcastic. They'll need to rely on each other as their situation turns increasingly deadly. Fortunately, McClane knows a little something about unearthing old secrets-and this isn't the first time he's had guns fired at him.

I live and write in NYC. My recent novels and novellas include "Groundhog Slay" (Crystal Lake Publishing), "Payback is Forever" (Shotgun Honey), and "Boise Longpig Hunting Club" (Down & Out Books). I grew up as a voracious reader of mystery and crime fiction, and my own writing is an attempt to pay homage to the best of the genre while also using it as a lens through which to view our weird, sometimes not-so-wonderful modern life.
