This thriller from an author who "writes the kind of stuff of which nightmares are made" pits a madman intent on world domination against a Canadian Mountie (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).
Robert DeClercq has faced a lot of psychos as the head of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. But never one as evil as Mephisto, a megalomaniac intent on recovering a relic rumored to hold the secrets of Stonehenge-mysteries Mephisto hopes to exploit for his own diabolical ends.
Determined to make DeClercq a pawn in his plan to uncover the ancient treasure, Mephisto lures him in by abducting one of DeClercq's own. Now DeClercq is in a race against time to save his friend and fellow cop from a slow and torturous death-and save the world from Mephisto's sinister scheme to create a hell on Earth.
"The psycho to end all psychos. Mephisto makes Hannibal Lecter seem like an Oxford don with slightly unorthodox culinary tastes." -The Vancouver Sun
"Burnt Bones is a very original thriller-nice and gory, with plenty of scenery-chewing scenes . . . that should appeal to anyone looking for a change from the usual stuff that litters bookstore shelves." -The Chronicle Herald
