A murder, Mormon mysteries, and a cave full of bones. Zack Tolliver left the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be with his family but when his niece is threatened in the aftermath of the horrific murder of a high school classmate, Zack responds. He learns clues may reside in old bones in a hidden cave on the summit of Canaan Mountain. There is another murder. Some powerful force doesn't want the bones exposed. Zack begins to unravel a conspiracy which potentially involves activist ranchers, the local sheriff's department, Mormon fundamentalists, high-powered state politicians, and secrets carefully guarded for over a hundred years.

Review

CANNAN'S SECRET is a bronze medal winner in the READERS' FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL BOOK CONTEST 2019 in the category Fiction/Mystery/Crime."The opening of the novel is intriguing and I enjoyed the way the author captures the killer stalking the innkeeper's son. The first lines make it impossible to stop reading. "It was as foretold. He was making a delivery to the Quality Inn in Kanab when he saw the boy lounging by the pool, shirtless, feet dangling in the water, leaning back on his elbows to catch the meager rays of the early spring sun. The boy's age, gender, hair, eyes, and black skin all matched the description given him by the Voice." The author delves into the mind of the reader and offers fascinating images at this opening, plus the mention of a shadowy character heeding to the Voice creates a strong sense of mystery and makes readers want to know what this Voice is and who this character is. Canaan's Secret is dark and intoxicating in a disturbing kind of way. R. Lawson Gamble's characters are richly developed and the plot so deftly handled with twists and surprises that it keeps the reader turning from page to page. This is a great treat for fans of murder and mystery and readers who enjoy sleuth novels.Reviewed by Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite
