Call of Bone


Detective Brandt Bogue is running from his ghosts. The death of his wife and child left him haunted and distracted--a deadly combination that resulted in the negligent death of his partner. A pariah in the city he loved to serve, Brandt returns home to Lafayette, Louisiana working cold cases in the parish where he grew up. The disturbing unsolved homicide of a woman and her toddler, their home awash in blood, won't leave Brandt's mind. But as he digs deeper into his investigation, he's met with resistance. Corruption and deceit threaten to stymie the case and Brandt wonders if it's unsolved for a reason. His unorthodox investigation techniques and unsavory resources tarnish his already damaged reputation. It becomes clear that further investigation into the case those who don't want it solved will make it very personal for him and his family. It will be the very ghosts he hides from that will be the key to solving the murder.
