Former academic now veteran Deputy Sheriff Blevins Bombardi tries to solve a freakish murder in a Florida national forest. He is distracted, though, by struggles with his inner demons: heavy drinking, depression, suicidal thoughts, and torment from the recent murder of his wife. In the meantime a category five hurricane rushes toward Florida in February, the bears in the forest are mysteriously slaughtered by arrows, politicians push to privatize all public lands, a vagabond cult squatting in the forest clashes with locals, and Bombardi cannot track down his runaway daughter. When a bizarre ex-con shows up insisting that Bombardi help him locate a former love (who may be imaginary), the Deputy Sheriff may have to step far outside the law to restore any order to his off balance world. All My Sins Remembered joins Ron Cooper's previous novels as part mystery, part philosophical inquiry, and part tragi-comedy.

About the Author

The Washington Post called the publication of Ron Cooper's new novel, Purple Jesus, "a literary event of the first magnitude" and said that the book "is so perfectly written, it's exhilirating to read." Cooper was born and raised in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Following a BA from the College of Charleston and an MA from the University of South Carolina, Cooper was awarded a Ph.D. in philosophy from Rutgers University. After publishing philosophical works, such as Heidegger and Whitehead: A Phenomenological Examination into the Intelligibility of Experience (Ohio University Press, 1993), he turned to fiction, and his first novel, Hume's Fork, appeared in 2007. Ron Rash said, "Hume's Fork is one of the funniest novels I've read in a long time," while Rebecca Goldstein called it a "mix of zaniness and erudition, satire and insight . . . as delicious as it is original."
