These Mortal Remains (Hardcover)

"Milton Burton writes with a ruthless charm rivaling the great Raymond Chandler." --Kinky Freidman
Milton T. Burton has charmed readers for years with his Texas mysteries, notable for their backwoods flair, down-home characters, and Southern-flavored sense of humor. In "These Mortal Remains, "Sheriff Bo Handel returns in a mystery which will have Burton's many fans hooting and hollering." "Bo Handel knows Texas's Caddo County inside and out, from the town drunks to the teen troublemakers with too much time on their hands. But when Toby, an African-American deputy and one of Bo's best cops, is shot and left wounded on the side of the road, Bo's eyes are opened to a side of his county that he's never before seen. A group of white supremacists are occupying a compound on the edge of town, and a few key members are determined to wreak havoc on those they hate. Suspenseful, provocative, and smart, "These Mortal Remains "is a fantastic final book from a beloved Southern talent.
