About Nothing but the Bones

"[Narrator Brian Troxell's] poignant depictions of a wife coping with her husband's relapse or a sheriff hearing a whippoorwill's song during a confrontation exemplify the emotional depth of his narration." — AudioFile on Bull Mountain With lyrical prose and hard-hitting depictions of the hardscrabble life in the rural south, Brian Panowich, author of Bull Mountain, Like Lions , and Hard Cash Valley , delivers a gripping new chapter in his tales of McFalls County in Nothing But the Bones . In McFalls County, local crime boss Gareth Burroughs runs everything on the mountain. And Nelson “Nails” McKenna has been his enforcer since he was a teenager, though his heart's not really in the dirty work. Then one night in a local roadhouse, Nails goes too far, defending a woman, and even Burroughs’s reach can’t get him out of this one. With a dead body and countless witnesses, Nails and the woman become fugitives on the run, and unlikely partners. But on the road to Jacksonville, where a possible escape awaits, there’s more than one interested party on the pair’s trail, and the glimpse they had of getting away scot free suddenly seems elusive. In the end, Nails must make one final stand for his freedom—or pay with both of their lives. A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.
