Bøker av Tambler Wallace

As a young man's long-distance love affair fails, bodies surface on his parents' rural farm. He starts anew with - he believes - the girl of his dreams, whom, it turns out, is associated with one of said bodies.In a setting of bars and billiards, a 'weekend warrior' motorcycle club gets crossways with an outlaw biker gang, and a small-scale war of brains-versus-brawn ensues, pitting friends, families, and business professionals against each other, where no one is safe, no one is innocent, and no one is untouchable.'High-Tech' amounts to VHS and dial-up modems. Car phones are for the rich, or at least the most important. Treasure is found in silicon chips, as well as where the pirate legends placed it - buried in the ground.

The opening of a new motel in rural Oklahoma coincides with the disappearance of a local girl. An offhanded joke becomes a rumor and permanently links the event with the motel's reputation. The discovery of several bodies and one survivor in an abandoned bomb shelter proves to be a full-time challenge to the obnoxious new sheriff and his deputies. Their search for the killer(s) takes them across the state and rustles up a host of suspects, who eventually reunite in an unusual and unexpected way. The scope of the crimes grows and spreads, until the perpetrators run out of resources, both human and otherwise, for they are all eventually consumed. Forensics, sporadic witness accounts, good police work, hunches, and mistakes by the "untouchable" evildoer(s) eventually pile up to bring a violent end to one of the perps and the incarceration of...the rest. What begins as a father's disappointment snowballs into a life that bends rules, family loyalties, and genders as the struggle to please a parent morphs into a deviant and deadly lifestyle.
