One by one the bones break beneath his expert hands. He’s done this many times before. They don’t call him the BoneMan for nothing. It’s not that he wants to kill them necessarily, they just don’t meet up with the standards he’s set for the perfect daughter. And that’s all he wants. Someone to love him like he loves himself.
But in his pursuit for perfection, the BoneMan faces a formidable foe. Ryan Evans, father of the BoneMan’s latest victim, is not just going to let his daughter go. Having been subjected to seeing the same sort of torture as a POW in the War on Terror, Ryan can only imagine his daughter placed in that situation. He hasn’t been a perfect father by any means; he’d barely been a part of his daughter’s life. But that experience had brought him closer, made him want to reconcile with his daughter. And now that he was back, this monster had taken her from him, trying to make her his own daughter.
With the FBI thinking that Ryan himself is the BoneMan, he lashes out and goes vigilante. The battle between the Ryan and the BoneMan becomes personal. A war of two fathers in which one must fall.
Boneman’s Daughter’s exhibits a depth and a breadth that is both heart-pounding and heart-stopping. It is page-turning and riveting. Be prepared for an intricately woven story that examines the depth of one father’s love. Prepare for 4.14.09, clear your schedule because you’ll not want to put this book down, calm yourself, keep the lights on, and enjoy…for behold, the BoneMan cometh.
BoneMan’s Daughters is a first for Ted. Breaking out of the CBA market, he’s publishing his first ABA novel—his first “New York” novel, to borrow his terminology. This has some of his fans in a quandary. Is Ted leaving his roots as a Christian author and going secular? Some fans clamor for the “Old Ted” as seen in his first string of novels, The Martyr’s Song. The darkness and supposed obscurity of the Christian message in Ted’s more recent books such as Showdown and Adam have some concerned that Ted is heading down a path that kowtows to consumerism rather than the message of Christianity.
But that certainly is not the case. It is with these later novels that Ted has infused even richer meaning and symbolism, encouraging the reader to be sucked in to the power of Story and creating modern-day parables meant for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. And those who are looking for the true story of the BoneMan’s Daughters will not find themselves disappointed.
It’s the story of a Father who is willing to go to extreme lengths to save His estranged Daughter from the clutches of a killer who wants the Daughter for his own. BoneMan’s Daughters is powerful. It is deep. It is meaningful. Yet it manages to be pulse-racing and page-turning. Ted manages to infuse a timeless literary quality without sacrificing the commercial thrilling nature.
There are other, much more significant and profound truths expressed through this book, but for the sake of not spoiling it, I shall leave them unsaid. BoneMan’s Daughters is a must-read. Trust me, pick it up and you will not be disappointed.
