New Hard-Boiled Detective Series Uncovers Bones, Murder & History.

Paleontologist turned private investigator, Harry Przewalski, excavates the dirty underbelly of people's lives, unearthing sexual betrayals, treachery, fraud and murder buried beneath the science of petrified shards, skin and bones. Ultimately, he must face a brutal killing in his own past, when he fled to a desert war and came back with a gun and a license to detect.

In his first case, The Bone Field, Przewalski chases a missing paleontologist across 80 million years of intrigue and death, from a Wyoming bone field of petrified skeletons to the bone rooms of the museum. 

World-renowned museum paleontologist, Peter Marchand, goes missing while leading a dinosaur dig in the sweltering, desert badlands of Wyoming. He has made enemies from his serial womanizing, ruthless dealings, religious blasphemy, and unorthodox theories. Hired to find him, Pittsburgh private detective Harry Przewalski uncovers a tangle of sexual deceit, betrayal, and scientific fraud. Ultimately, he must excavate the nightmares in his own extinct past to keep from being killed.

The first installment in the Harry Przewalski series. The second book in the series is Death Spoke, the third book is The Camel Driver.

      Paleontologist Krishtalka (Dinosaur Plots) puts his professional experience to good use in his satisfyingly twisty fiction debut, a series launch featuring Pittsburgh PI Harry Przewalski. Harry was once a paleontology graduate student at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, until a personal tragedy caused him to abandon his dissertation and enlist in the U.S. Army; he “escaped to a war, came back with a gun and got a license to detect.” His academic background provides Harry with an advantage when the Carnegie Museum’s director hires him to look into the disappearance of Peter Marchand, one of the institution’s curators. Marchand, who was notorious for having proposed “radical theories about changes in the Earth’s climate during the Age of Dinosaurs,” vanished 10 days earlier from a fossil-hunting expedition in Wyoming. There’s one clue: the previous spring, Marchand received a threat from a Christian fundamentalist. In Wyoming, Harry exposes multiple suspects before he astutely sorts out what had happened to Marchand. This is a promising start to what is shaping up to be an intriguing series.
