A Fearsome Moonlight Black: The Bone Detective, A Dave Beckett novel by David Putnam


This is a police procedural that is full of death and some bad cops.

Level Best Books and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published October 18th.

The story starts with a rookie cop.  He has the misfortune of finding dead people.  He's not supposed to investigate but he wants to.  The other cops aren't especially effective.

He ends up being demoted until he dropped to the Bone Detective.  But he still looks for clues.

When he thinks he's figured it out, he meets another cop who wants to know what he's found.  He tells him and finds himself in trouble.  The cop is a killer.

Will he manage to stay alive?
