On a crisp autumn morning of the fall of 1973, two young men were found dead in the reflecting pond on the campus of the School of the Ozarks. Funny thing was, they weren't students, and Freshman track athlete Alan Brown couldn't stop wondering what must have happened to them. Enter Detective Booger McClain.
In the spring of 1974, a highly caffeinated McClain dives into the particulars of the case prompted by the now-college-reporter Brown, and what this unusual pair finds together are all the things that some in the Ozarks wanted to remain hidden forever. For deep in the hollers, in the shadows of rocky cliff edges, are secrets not meant to be found. And so it goes: the closer the investigators get to the truth, the more they have to prepare to be silenced.
Lake Honor is a thrilling mystery and coming-of-age story that delivers more sharp turns than any narrow hillside highway.
