I misteri di Bill Maytubby e Hannah Bond

Questa serie si immerge nella bellezza aspra e nel pericoloso sottobosco della Nazione Chickasaw, seguendo un poliziotto tribale e un vice sceriffo di contea mentre indagano su brutali omicidi. La loro ricerca di giustizia li porta attraverso paesaggi aridi, cittadine aspre e nel cuore di complesse cospirazioni. Fondendo elementi noir del Sud-Ovest con studi di personaggi avvincenti, questi misteri esplorano i segreti oscuri che si nascondono sotto la superficie di comunità apparentemente tranquille.

    This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy. In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahomas rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days. Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Neer-do-wells start dying off.A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisianas bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nails Crossing.
