Bone Music (Hardcover: 320 pages)

Fast forward to contemporary Montana. Times have changed. The villains have gone high-tech. The families are dysfunctional. The wildlife is endangered and the bone music -- the ancient harmony of the inner soul, the call for humanity's reconciliation with nature -- is increasingly drowned out by the cacophony of modern life.

In Bone Music, Lee Moler strikes a decidedly modern riff on the celebrated tradition of Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey. With a multicultural cast and a blurred sense of justice, Moler crafts an absorbing novel, played out against a beautifully drawn Western landscape, where an aging cowboy must valiantly defend his ranch and his family against a depraved and vengeful renegade.

Exciting and richly satisfying, Bone Music is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of fiction lovers from every point on the compass.
