All My Sins Remembered

Former academic now veteran Deputy Sheriff Blevins Bombardi tries to solve a freakish murder in a Florida national forest. He is distracted, though, by struggles with his inner demons: heavy drinking, depression, suicidal thoughts, and torment from the recent murder of his wife. In the meantime a category five hurricane rushes toward Florida in February, the bears in the forest are mysteriously slaughtered by arrows, politicians push to privatize all public lands, a vagabond cult squatting in the forest clashes with locals, and Bombardi cannot track down his runaway daughter. When a bizarre ex-con shows up insisting that Bombardi help him locate a former love (who may be imaginary), the Deputy Sheriff may have to step far outside the law to restore any order to his off balance world. All My Sins Remembered joins Ron Cooper's previous novels as part mystery, part philosophical inquiry, and part tragi-comedy.
