Publisher's summary

This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy.

In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahoma's rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days.

Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Ne'er-do-wells start dying off.

A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisiana's bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nail's Crossing.

Love the characters and their voices and especially Hanna. Too bad we couldn’t actually meet them all.

I may not like the language but understand how it fits the character and mood of the moment.

Entertaining

The story was pretty good, but the narrator is too monotonal and sometimes makes it hard to follow. A few gaps in the story line left me with some questions.

Great characters

Really enjoyed the fast paced story and loved the different characters. I would love to see this author continue with a book series featuring these characters.

Nail's Crossing

This is a very good Mystery Western book. Bill Maytubby and Hannah Bond teams up together. They cover a lot of territory. This book holds your interest from the beginning to the end. This is the first book in the series. I highly recommend this if you like mysteries or westerns. Mark Bramhall does an excellent job narrating this book. if my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

It’s okay

I found the first half of the book hard to follow and a little boring. The second half was much better. I’m thinking about giving book 2 a try.

Excellent

Narrator great. Story great. Characters GREAT. Writing great. Kris Lackey writes wonderful, atmospheric modern western police — what would you call them? Procedural? That’s not the right word. These books are not to be missed.
