Description
Tribal policeman Bill Maytubby and Deputy Hannah Bond partner again to solve a grisly murder that is more than it appears.
In the shadow of a massive boulder on Oklahoma’s Big Rock Prairie, a squirrel hunter discovers a charred skeleton in a homemade charcoal kiln. Johnston County deputy Hannah Bond and Chickasaw Lighthorse police sergeant Bill Maytubby are called to the scene and soon identify the victim as a young Chickasaw man from a nearby town.
What begins as the search for a killer soon throws Maytubby and Bond into the deep end of a conspiracy that puts both the victim’s family and the officers themselves at risk. While Maytubby and Bond lead a manhunt through moonlit backroads and blackjack thickets, they must quickly decipher the murderer’s next move … before it’s too late.

Maytubby and Bond have there hands full once again in Southeast Oklahoma when they are called to a remote homestead and find a piece of human bone in a burn pit. Set in the wide open Oklahoma the pace is fast and the story too sweet. Must read series for rural noir lovers.

I received this eARC from Netgalley.com and am providing an unbiased review.
Admittedly, I could not finish this book. The story synopsis sounds very interesting, but within a few pages, my interest just wandered. I set it aside, and tried to pick it up and continue on several occasions, but just could not stay with it. I'm not even sure what made me lose interest. I have not read the previous stories of these characters, and the part of the book I did read, I saw no reason that this could not be a stand-alone novel. My regrets for not finishing it, but mayhaps will try again at a later time. I'm giving it three stars due to the content the novel is to be about (one of my favorites).
