Jack Happel Boone Books

The Tolby Nation has been quiet for four long years. But the peace of the backwoods is fragile. Luster Holder is a man with enemies and those enemies—the Greebers—are deadly. His one true friend is his dead Dossie Bell’s illegitimate son, Buck Humphries. Woods Girl is a fast-moving series of events. Who will die? Who will live? Who will end up buried deep beneath the Nation soil? Jack Boone brings back the cast of characters from Dossie Bell Is Dead in this lost sequel. Eighty years after he first introduced them, we finally learn what became of them.

The mysterious death of a scorned young woman living with a rough, lawless man in the hills of Neely County in West Tennessee sets off a series of events for those who knew her. Secrets, betrayal, and murder culminate twenty-four hours later in a shocking confession at her funeral.
