Construction of his dream home came to a sudden halt when police investigators cordoned off the site and began a meticulous search for evidence. They quickly determined the bones were those of a male, and he had a bullet hole in his temple. Who was this mysterious man, and how had his remains ended up on a remote hillside in West Virginia overlooking the Cheat River? Was his death a suicide, or had someone killed him? Jimmy, whose curiosity was insatiable, began a search for answers. With the help of Sam Miller, a former state policeman, he delved into the world of unscrupulous lawyers and natural gas lease speculators. When a mysterious woman entered the scene, his investigation took an unexpected turn, but he was determined to follow the evidence wherever it took him. When he was warned to stop stirring up trouble by a threatening voice on his phone, he knew violence was bubbling near the surface.

Book excerpt: It seemed as though a dragon, for it could be nothing else, had reared out of the ground in the night . . . and then been turned to stone by the first rays of the dawn sun. Starting with the living beast, the Megalosaurus herself, over 144 million years ago, The Skull follows the Marchant family from generation to generation, exploring key moments in history shaped by radical philosophical and scientific change. Whether feeding in a frenzy, seen as evidence of the devil, kept as a token of scientific heritage or used an easy way to make a quick buck, the Megalosaurus skull continues to change lives over millennia, long after her untimely demise. In this superb fictional tale, scientific and historical fact is blended with drama, intrigue, and life-changing scientific discoveries that not only affect the Marchants, but science, philosophy and civilisation as we know it.
Download or read book The Hanging Woods written by Scott Loring Sanders and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2008-03-21 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Walter reads that day changes him. Not in any way someone would really notice. He still goes to school, hangs out with his friends Jimmy and Mothball, and tries to avoid the Troll, the town recluse. But something in him has changed. It's as if he can feel a part of him growing—the part that can stand by and watch a house burn down or the life flow out of a fox, without doing anything to stop either. He knows he could—should—do something to help. But some part of him keeps him glued in place, watching with fascination and curiosity. Maybe it would have been better if Walter had never found out the things he did. Maybe he didn't really want to know. But then again, maybe he did. Richly atmospheric, The Hanging Woods is at times disturbing, but it is always riveting. It's a tale of deception, delusion, and the dark places a troubled mind can go.
