Don't Leave My Bones in Missouri

<p>Crocker MO.<br />1953</p><p>Crocker Chief of Police Owen Bagby stood by his patrol car wiping his red face with a handkerchief. The day wasn't hot but Bagby stayed overheated regardless of the weather. Overweight and balding he had the look of a man who had seen too much. But that was in another time and another place far away not in Crocker. Nothing ever happened here.</p><p>And then the first murder came. 14-year-old Patsy Raymond dead in the town cemetery a deep knife wound in her side. Afterwards it was discovered the girl was twelve weeks pregnant. A week later Barb Reed was found strangled in the storeroom of her diner.</p><p>Chief Bagby and his deputy Dewayne Brownie Brown now had two murders to solve along with bank embezzlement suspicion of child molestation and a fire chief who may be a fugitive wanted by the F.B.I. Suddenly a place where nothing happened is teeming with intrigue and mystery and Chief Bagby wonders if he ever really knew his town at all.</p>
