Three Graves Full

There is very little peace for a man with a body buried in his backyard. But it could always be worse . . . More than a year ago, mild-mannered Jason Getty killed a man he wished he'd never met. Then he planted the problem a little too close to home. But now, just as he's learning to live with the undeniable reality of what he's done, police unearth two bodies on his property - neither of which is the one he buried. As Jason's fragile peace begins to unravel, his life is hitched to the fortunes of several strangers- Leah, an abandoned woman looking for answers to her heartbreak; Tim, a small-town detective just doing his job; and Boyd, a fringe-dweller whose past is about to catch up to him - all of them in the shadow of a dead man who had it coming. With the tense pacing of a thriller and the elegant style of a literary novel, Three Graves Full heralds the arrival of a stunning new voice in fiction.
