Knucklebones

Missing children. A prophet who speaks for the dead. And a powerful cabal who will do anything to keep their secrets buried.

When a mysterious stranger with a forgotten past wanders into an unmapped Georgia town, he’s suspected of being responsible for recent kidnappings. But while his ability to see a person’s final memories before death by touching their bones will help to clear his name and bring closure to the victims’ families, it also puts him square in the crosshairs of those who want to keep their crimes quiet.

Will the rich and powerful be allowed to continue their exploitation unchecked, or will the so-called prophet shine a light on generations of secrets kept in the darkness?

“Knucklebones” is a Southern fiction story set in Georgia that introduces a supernatural detective in his first thrilling, cold case-solving adventure. If you like Stephen King’s “Dead Zone,” John Grisham’s “A Time to Kill,” and the Southern-fried storytelling of Carl Hiaasen, you’ll love the first installment in Dave Trumbore’s “Knucklebones” series.
