Everybody knew there was going to be trouble when Carlos Espinoza got out of prison and returned home to the little mountain town of Big Lake. He may have done his time and be a free man now, but ghosts and memories of the past still haunted him. And that wasn't all.
Adele Hudson, the matriarch of a powerful ranching family, hated Carlos, and for good reason. Not only had he stolen the heart of her daughter Fawn when they were still in high school, but Carlos had been in prison was because he had killed Adele's youngest son Chuck in a drunken barroom brawl.
Adele vowed then that prison was not good enough for the killer. She would not rest until she saw him dead. Along with her two surviving sons, she is on hand to meet the bus when Carlos returns to town. Only because of the presence of Sheriff Jim Weber and his mentor, Big Lake's previous sheriff Pete Caitlin, was violence averted that cold spring morning.
It wouldn't be long before the Hudsons seek their revenge, not only on Carlos, but on Fawn, the daughter who betrayed her family to be with the man she loved. When the showdown finally comes, not everyone is left standing.
One reviewer has referred to the Big Lake mystery series as ‘Mayberry Meets Twin Peaks.’ It’s a combination of humor and intrigue that launched New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell’s first Big Lake book into Amazon''s Top 100 Paid Kindle books for over 78 days, and Big Lake Parolee, the twenty-seventh book in this popular series, is sure to be a hit, too.
