With the patience of a hunter, Farrell ventures into a world of shadow beyond the fields and forests of home.

Praise for this book
"Tom Bouman is my new favorite mystery writer." - Nickolas Butler
"You would be hard-pressed to find a finer new series than Tom Bouman’s Henry Farrell novels because of the complexity of the plots or the richness of the characters, but what it really comes down to is just damn good writing." - Craig Johnson
"My father always said that you can judge people by the way they keep their tools: clean and sharp or soiled and soft. Tom Bouman's tools -- the words he uses to make Fateful Mornings -- cut straight and true, in this riveting mystery about a good man caught in the ruined Eden of rural America." - Julia Keller
"Fateful Mornings is that long-sought-after gem, the place where the literary meets the crime novel in beautiful symmetry. Henry Farrell is an existential everyman, as clueless as the rest of us about life’s meaning, and his so very human stumbling in search of the elusive truths is one of the many beauties of this fine novel." - William Kent Krueger
"A terrific writer. Definitely one to keep an eye on." - Dennis Lehane
"More than a mystery, Fateful Mornings is a portrait of the rusted pocket of Northeastern Pennsylvania that Henry Farrell calls home. Bouman's tender portrait of a widower remaking his life infuses his crime fiction with a level of intimacy that is both rare and winning. I was happy to ride shotgun with Henry Farrell again." - Attica Locke
"Fateful Mornings is a haunting dissection of the broken heart of America." - Val McDermid
