Lonesome Animals by Bruce Holbert, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Russell Strawl is called out of retirement to hunt a serial killer who has been leaving elaborately carved bodies of Native Americans across three counties. Strawl's own dark and violent history weaves itself into the hunt, shedding light on the remains of his broken family, which in turn leads him to the identity of the killer. In the vein ofTrue Grit andBlood Meridian, Lonesome Animals is a western novel reinvented, a detective story inverted for the west. It is also about one man's urgent, elegiac search for justice amidst the craven acts committed on the edges of civilization.
