Publisher's summary
From the screenwriter of SAVAGE SALVATION, starring Robert De Niro and John Malkovich, comes an electrifying prequel to the acclaimed mystery series, ALL THE BONES, that Kirkus Reviews calls "masterful" and readers say is "mesmerizing," "breathtaking," and "hauntingly beautiful."
When the bones of a family are discovered among the burned bodies of villagers in what Afghans call The Valley of Darkness, corporal Hondo Velazquez is the only one who recognizes a pattern that can stop a serial killer and expose the system that has allowed him to hunt.On the run from insurgents as a thunderous storm settles-in to the Sangin River Valley, Hondo and two fellow survivors seek refuge in a village the Taliban has already pillaged––having left behind dozens of burned bodies.
Trapped and forced to wait out the storm, Hondo finds a mourning father begging for help to find his missing family––a wife and two young children. But as Hondo vows to help the man, he soon finds secrets buried among the burning remains that will tilt his whole world, exposing the true face of darkness within us all.
Darkness in the Valley is the fast-paced prequel to the daring debut mystery All the Bones in Brooks County, Texas.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Story4 out of 5 stars 523
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

This is not CSI. What you encounter as a true bomb detective-or "Bomb Doctor," as some in the FBI call me-are fields of twisted metal containing soot-covered fragments intermingled with human remains. You have carnage and chaos. As you wade into that sea of wailing sirens and screaming survivors awash with the stench of diesel fuel and decaying bodies, your job is to ferret out forensic clues in a type of macabre scavenger hunt to ultimately reconstruct the scene and the explosive device and determine what happened and what the bomb looked like before it was torn asunder.
