Sawbones (Patrick Flint Novels, #3) / Patrick Flint Novels (ePub)

When a killer threatens his family before their testimony in a capital murder trial, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe.

A peaceful day of skiing for the family. The murder of a prominent judge's wife. A witness becomes the next target: thirteen-year-old Perry Flint.

Patrick, his wife Susanne, and their kids head to the mountains for a day of skiing. At the lodge, thirteen-year-old Perry is the sole eyewitness to the murder of a prominent judge's wife, only days before the first capital murder trial in the state of Wyoming since its reinstatement by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Susanne and Trish are gearing up to testify against ruthless killer Billy Kemecke at the trial, unless his criminal family can stop them first. With his family threatened from all sides, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe.

"Best book I've read in a long time!"

"What about us?" To Trish Flint's surprise, her younger brother Perry's voice didn't waver or even crack. "Are you going to kill us?"

Their captor turned to him again. "I thought you were smart, but I take it back. Of course I am, Perry. You can identify me, and you were going to tell your family about me. You're the only thing tying me to the murder of Jeannie Renkin. I'm sorry. It's nothing personal."

Just then, while their captor's eyes were still on Perry, a mountain lion jumped in the road right in front of the truck. It was enormous in the dusky gloom of the headlights. Trish screamed. Their captor's head whipped forward. Arms jerked to the right. The truck lurched toward the rock face towering above them and one of the signs that said the rocks were old as dirt. Their captor wrenched the wheel away from the rock. The truck smashed into the cougar with a sickening thud, skittered to the left, and kept going. Trish's head snapped forward and she braced herself against the dashboard. Beside her, Perry wasn't as lucky. His body slammed into the gear shift and dashboard. The weight of his body ripped the rearview mirror off the windshield.

For a moment, Trish thought everything was going to be okay, until their captor's overcorrection sent the truck careening off the side of the road and into the nothingness over Clear Creek.

"A roller-coaster ride from the first page to the last!"
