The Kansas Murder Trilogy offers three stand-alone novels that spring from the nation’s heartland: King Harvest (1975); Banks of the River (1960); and Skin for Skin (1934). While each story carries the general flavor of its time, the characters and circumstances are distinct, and all depict the fate of common people faced with the grim fact of murder.

King Harvest, Book 1 (Range County, KS, summer/fall 1975): A group of young men known as “The Boys” make their stab for freedom harvesting marijuana on the Kansas plains. But the brutal murder of a young couple on the border of two counties threatens to sweep “The Boys” into a bigger world of crime. *Selected for Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Books of 2022!
