Boneman

Jackie Swann, North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, is a dedicated officer, unfazed by the dangers of her chosen profession. She is also a wife and mother, immersed in the struggle between career and family life. Her latest assignment will test her marriage and risk far more than her life.
Dallas Reid, Phoenix City Police Department, is a bit of a rogue cop, accustomed to doing whatever must be done to bring criminals to justice. Drug dealers are his specialty. But he's beginning to wonder if there isn't more to life than busting bad boys.
Phoenix City, North Carolina, like many small and large cities, has a drug problem. Like many cities, it is the scene of battles between rival drug gangs. But the current spate of violence has Dallas Reid baffled.
All along the city's strip of bars and clubs, people are disappearing. Local pushers are being replaced by mindless giants who negotiate drug sales in chilling whispers. And Dal's usually reliable network of informers has dried up. There are plenty of rumors about the new gang in town, but precious few facts.
Sent in by the SBI, Jackie Swann reports that a gang of Haitians is trying to take over the drug trade throughout the state, with Phoenix City as the first step. Their tactics are psychological intimidation, physical force, and something unnatural and evil - all orchestrated by a mysterious figure known only as the "boneman."
What Dallas Reid and Jackie Swann experience as they investigate the boneman will challenge everything they believe about themselves, about justice and mercy, about good and evil.
