The Childless Land by Vic Bobb

Vic Bobb’s 30 years of freelancing have taken him to an odd variety of periodical places, from confessions in such magazines as True Romance and Secrets to technical articles about computer security and salmon runs, from articles about archaeology and The Beverly Hillbillies and ritzy dog snacks to award-winning short stories, from human interest stories about bullriders and appellate court judges to ghost-written podiatric-advice columns and articles about bobblehead dolls honoring professional poker stars. Although he has lived in eastern Washington for most of his life, The Childless Land was written during a decade spent in downstate Illinois.

An unusual detective novel, The Childless Land is not so much a whodunnit as a character study. You can read it here.
