About

Sleepy Benteen County, Kansas, turns frantic on election day. The religious right is out to unseat Sheriff English, whose deputy rams a school bus carrying the teen choir. A student smuggles a gun into the school and begins shooting. It's enough to make a sheriff wonder why he wants to serve another term.

Reviews

"Lloyd James dramatically changes tone and accents for the variety of characters, from teenage boys whose voices are changing to born-again Christians full of religious fervor…James' pacing is excellent. He quickly adjusts to the tense hostage situation, low-key humor, and depictions of small-town life."

"Readers will find sleepy Benteen County, Kansas wide awake and action packed in Hayes' new addition to this quirky series. The mixture of action, humor, and politics will keep readers interested as they wonder just how much can be squeezed into twenty-four hours."
Booklist
"Hayes does a marvelous job in keeping these various plotlines from spinning out of control. The pace of the book is about as rapid as the stories are frantic and it is thrilling to be a part of it, if only as a reader…Broken Heartland is action, more action, and a bit of a mystery with just a suggestion of a love story. It is highly recommended. "
