KNUCKLEBONES: Book Three: Prison of Bones
Imprisoned for committing no crime. Enslaved by the prison labor system. Imperiled by guards and fellow prisoners alike.
Ezekiel had already survived a harrowing ordeal in Nowhere, Georgia, and the occult rituals of the ruling elite on the island of King’s Cove, only to be black-bagged and taken against his will to an off-the-books prison. Now, after uncovering a conspiracy, he must find a way to escape before the guards – or his fellow inmates – decide he knows too much.
But temporary alliances on the inside soon turn complicated – even deadly. Ezekiel finds that escaping one prison might just land him in an even bigger cage.
“Prison of Bones” is the third, thrilling story in the “Knucklebones” series. Fans of Stephen King’s “Dead Zone,” John Grisham’s “A Time to Kill,” and the Southern-fried storytelling of Carl Hiaasen will love Dave Trumbore’s “Knucklebones” stories.

Thrill after thrill
The masterful story of Ezekiel is continuing to ramp up and despite the continued tension it does not get tiring. The adventures are strong, the mysteries deep, and the character development is rich. Ezekiel is becoming a hero for the ages much like Ben Raines in William Johnstone’s Ashes series. I am ready to see where this leads and continue the adventure.
Some of the scenes created can be a bit graphic and upsetting, but it serves a purpose far more than to just shock and actually adds to the overarching story as a whole. If you enjoy a good adventure with some strong twists that leave you wondering where the author is going to gently guide you next, read this series.
