New Release:
Day One (Tyrus Books), the most recent novel from Bill Cameron, is now available for purchase. Mr. Cameron will read from Day One at Murder by the Book on June 10th at 7:00pm.
Description:
Born and raised in southern Oregon farm country, Elie Spaneker flees her home and abusive husband, unaware she’s being tracked by an ex-cop in the hire of her vengeful father-in-law.
In Portland, retired homicide detective Skin Kadash fills his idle days drinking coffee and searching for Eager Gillespie, a teen runaway of special interest as the only witness in a troublesome and long unsolved murder. Eager, meanwhile, is on his own, grifting and working the angles in the homeless underground, oblivious to the unfolding events which will force him to face the consequences of a crime, and a longing, which has haunted him for years.
These disparate trails converge at a bloody standoff, the harrowing end of a series of brutal crimes which trace a path from the high desert to the streets of Portland, committed by a perpetrator known only as Shadow.
“Rising crime fiction star Cameron has Kadash take a wisecracking, cynical approach to his situation, and this results in a very humane, personal investigation in which our protagonist must navigate the dangerous shoals of police office politics and the fact that someone wants him gone permanently. Highly recommended for all collections.” —Library Journal (starred review)
