The Overburden (The Bone Hunter Series Book 3)

Nick Yearsley’s burden after coming to rural Montana in search of dinosaur bones continues in this explosive third installment of The Bone Hunter Series.

He arrived in Montana looking for fossils. Several months later, he’s still there, tangled in a community that—like the prehistoric past—won’t let go.

Nick, Sheriff Sally, and her father have survived an attempt on their lives by a militia group, but even with help from Billings cop Shane Lowry, the attackers remain a mystery.

Winter has shut down the dinosaur excavation on Lowry’s land, scattering the dig team. Nick stays behind with Sally, uncertain of his next move.

Then the phone rings. A highly preserved paleontological specimen has been unearthed in the oil sands near Fort McMurray, Alberta—just a few hundred miles north. A colleague needs an expert to assess its significance.

Promised an exceptional find and eager for a break from the challenges that have hounded him since arriving in Jordan, Nick decides to take a look.

Instead of rest and relaxation, trouble is the first thing he finds. Upon arriving at the Syncrude petroleum mine, he immediately spots a man he recognizes—one of the militia shooters.

Meanwhile, back in Montana, Sally reports that something isn’t right. Has the militia been searching for them? Have they come for her?

When Nick first arrived in Montana, he was looking for dinosaurs, not trouble. Once again, he’s found plenty of both.

The epic thriller continues...
