AS THE CROW DIES
Available now from Bell Bridge Books, at your favorite bookstore and on Kindle.

Vietnam took his legs.

A murderer took his father.

Somehow, Jason Crow has to take a stand.

"My father had no reason to kill himself," I said. "On the contrary, he had every reason to live. I was coming home. We had plans to do things together. Plus, there's no way he'd kill himself using my gun."

Praise for AS THE CROW DIES:

"A must-read book. Both poignant and realistic."

—Ken Hodgson, award-winning author of The Man Who Killed Shakespeare (starred review) BOOKLIST


Burker picked up a screw driver, went through the motions of examining it. "Look, Jason, we're not friends. Never have been. Probably never will be, but I've always respected your talent on the football field and your intelligence. You were good. Damn good. What's happened . . . well, it's a shame."

"I don't want your pity, Burker."

"Good, because you won't get any from me, but I will tell you I'm disappointed in you. You're smart. That's why I expected you to be more objective about what's happened. Let me give you another tidbit of information, another fact for you to consider. There were powder marks on your father's right hand. He pulled the trigger."

Jason Crow comes home to Texas on clumsy, prosthetic legs, struggling with his lost dreams and the pitying curiosity of friends and strangers. But there's no time for him to brood, because his father has just been shot to death.

Unable to convince the police his father was murdered, Jason begins his own investigation. In the process he uncovers family secrets that shake him to his core and make him question everyone and everything around him, including the love of Michiko, the beautiful Eurasian-American nurse he met in Japan. 

While fighting his own insecurity as a double amputee, Jason must challenge forces capable of destroying him and those he loves to pursue the person who robbed him of his greatest hero:  His dad.

This debut book in Ken Casper's Jason Crow series treats readers to a powerful new voice in mystery fiction.  Available now from Bell Bridge Books, at your favorite bookstore and on Kindle.
