di Nick Kolakowski (Autore)

Watkins Media Limited, 2025

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.
