AVAILABLE NOW in both hardcopy and ebook download is The Crows’ Omen, a debut novel by Jerry Potocnik.
The Crows’ Omen is an exciting work of historical fiction set in the late 1800s in the once idyllic prairie of southeastern Kansas, now riven apart by greedy forces desperate for the coal beneath. Against the backdrop of a contentious workers’ strike, this novel follows brothers Ian and Sawyer Pendleton, who’ve long been apart but now find themselves living in their hometown once more. The story is anchored by an incredible group of characters. Some you’ll love; others you’ll love to hate. One such character is Lucius Schofield, the boys’ godfather, who long ago made a promise to protect them, the only way he knows how. When a sinister force puts one of the young men in peril, Lucius must call on his dark and dangerous past to keep him safe. The interwork of suspense, intrigue, deception and mystery within the storyline will capture your imagination and surely keep you guessing until the very last page.
