About this ebook
REDBONE is an innovative thriller set in Maine. After spending eight years behind bars for what barely amounts to a crime, Julio Redbone receives a pardon from the Governor. A month later, he dies from a lethal dose of potassium cyanide. His closest friends are certain he’s been murdered, but after a cursory investigation, the Portland police conclude that it probably was suicide. Julio’s mother, Juanita, hires Jesse Thorpe to find out what really happened. In the process, Jesse uncovers an extensive network of violent criminals in high places.
This third novel in the Jesse Thorpe Mystery Series is another intricate detective story, with a clever array of forensic, historical and scientific details to satisfy well-educated readers, while the narrative is driven by lively situations, local charm, and witty dialogues delivered by an eclectic assortment of Down East characters.
