A journey through Booger’s past highlights how loved ones have shaped the Ozarks detective as Rose confronts her own personal history and struggles to uncover just who shot her husband and worked to kill their client. Those who have masked their identities in their pursuit of power stand to challenge the investigators like never before, even as the detectives come to terms with their own identities.
The Ties That Bind, the ninth book in the Booger McClain Ozarks Detective Series, is a family affair that underscores the importance of loved ones in a world where no one rests in peace.
Alan Brown grew up in the suburbs of Kansas City and graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School in 1973 and Avila University in 1979. Now, he lives in a suburb of St. Louis, MO, with my wife and three daughters. He also has four sons who are grown and living outside the home. He enjoys writing about experiences he had growing up, examining the fantastical side, the dark side of a person’s natural fears. All of his books are based on a reality in his life. He is a fan of Alfred Hitchcock. Like his stories, Alan Brown’s will conclude with a twist, something he hopes will take the reader by surprise.
