Texas Ranger John Quarrie is called to the scene of an apparent suicide by a fellow war veteran. Although the local police want the case shut down, John Q is convinced that events aren't quite so straightforward. With his hunch backed up by the man's son, Isaac - back from Vietnam, and convinced his father was murdered - they face a desperate race against time...
Dripping with atmosphere, The Long Count is a page-turner and a psychological puzzle - for fans of Shutter Island and James Lee Burke.
Born in the UK, JM Gulvin divides his time between Wales and the western United States. He is the author of many previous novels, as well as Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's bestselling travel book Long Way Down. The Long Count is his first John Q mystery and he is currently at work on the follow up. He is married and has two daughters.
