   Gli agenti osservano in attesa, e il sergente Ryan DeMarco è infuriato. «D'accordo, diamoci una mossa!» ordina. Vuole il professore, vivo e in manette, prima del tramonto. Thomas Huston, un insegnante amato dalla comunità e scrittore di successo, è ora considerato un assassino. La scoperta è destabilizzante: l'uomo che i genitori avevano scelto per educare i propri figli è colpevole di un crimine orrendo. DeMarco, che ha letto tutti i romanzi di Huston e possiede prime edizioni autografate, si trova in una situazione paradossale. Ha condiviso pranzi con lui e nutre ammirazione per il suo lavoro, ma ora deve affrontare la realtà: l'uomo che ammirava è un criminale. Huston ha abbandonato la sua famiglia, massacrata, e la sua vita perfetta è distrutta. Negli ultimi tempi, lo scrittore era immerso nel lavoro su un nuovo libro, frequentando locali a luci rosse, ossessionato da un personaggio femminile. Le sue note rivelano una fascinazione inquietante: "Nei suoi occhi c'è una nudità che mi spoglia". Questa figura femminile potrebbe essere la chiave per risolvere il caso, ma sembra irrintracciabile, come se non fosse mai esistita.

   When long-buried secrets come back to the surface... The bones of seven young girls, picked clean and carefully preserved, discovered years ago... that's all Sergeant Ryan DeMarco knows about the unsolved crime he has unwittingly been roped into investigating during what is supposed to be a healing road trip with his new love, Jayme. DeMarco is still reeling from the case that led to death of his best friend months ago and wants nothing more than to lay low. Unfortunately, the small southern town of Jayme's idyllic youth is not exactly a place that lets strangers go unnoticed--especially strangers who have a history of solving violent crimes. And if there's anything DeMarco knows, it's that a killer always leaves clues behind, just waiting for the right person to come along and put all the pieces together... Walking the Bones is a story about things buried--memories, regrets, secrets, and bodies. Acclaimed author Randall Silvis delivers another heart-stopping investigation as DeMarco finds himself once again drawn into a case that will demand more of himself than he may be willing to give.

   "Silvis is at it again, striving for a blend of crime story and literature, mutilated bodies and lapidary prose."--Booklist Just when you think you've reached the bottom... Ryan DeMarco would rather not go home. Not now, maybe not ever. But when his estranged wife attempts suicide, he has no choice but to return to western Pennsylvania, and all the memories that wait for him there. Unfortunately, it's not only ghosts from the past waiting to greet DeMarco upon his return. An old high school classmate has risen through the ranks to become a county sheriff, and he is desperate for help investigating a series of murders that might tie into a cold case from his and DeMarco's school days. DeMarco and his new love, Jayme, agree to join the team working on the case. But it's not easy for DeMarco to be walking the streets of his troubled past, and the deeper he and Jayme dig into the disturbing murders the less likely it is that either one of them will escape the devastation. An emotionally wrenching thriller, perfect for readers of Harlan Coben and Lisa Regan. Ryan DeMarco Mystery Series: Two Days Gone (Book 1) Walking the Bones (Book 2) A Long Way Down (Book 3)

   There are good reasons to fear the dark... Former Sergeant Ryan DeMarco's life has been spent in defiance--he's defied death, loneliness, and betrayal all while fighting the worst parts of humanity. He's earned a break, and following the devastation of their last case, DeMarco and his girlfriend Jayme want nothing more than to live quietly in each other's company. To forget the horrors they've experienced and work on making each other whole again. But dreams of a peaceful life together are shattered when two bodies are discovered in a smoldering car in the woods, and another is found brutally mutilated nearby. Much as he'd like to leave the case to his former colleagues, dark forces are at play and DeMarco cannot escape the vortex of lies, betrayal, and desperation. He and Jayme are dragged back into the fray, where they must confront the shady dealings of a close-knit rural community. In the highly-anticipated fourth installment in his critically-acclaimed series, Randall Silvis returns with a case that might break Ryan DeMarco for good.
