Books to Watch!
by Tom Wright
In a small town in Ark-La-Tex, Detective Jim Bonham has been assigned to a new case. On the outskirts of the town, a woman has been found brutalized and nailed to a cross. Bonham recognizes her immediately: it is Dr. Deborah Gold, one of the town's psychologists. The questions pile up quickly. How many perpetrators would it have taken to commit this atrocity? Why was a Roman coin found at the foot of the body? And why a murder as gruesome and cruel as crucifixion?
"Starred Review. Jim's 'touch of the Sight', a rare, unpredictable form of clairvoyance, adds a bit of paranormal spice to this accomplished crime thriller." - Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. Wright portrays events vividly, from Bonham's high-school football exploits to his welding skills, as he deftly uncovers the long-buried secrets of these fully developed characters. Best of all, this has all the markings of a continuing series - good news for fans of gripping crime fiction with a paranormal twist." - Booklist
"Noir crime with a distinct Southern accent." - Kirkus
