Locals Only: 'The Devil's Country' by Harry Hunsicker


Klyde Warren Park

We’ve joined efforts with Klyde Warren Park to bring you the best books by local authors. Introducing the most Dallasite of all book clubs: the LOCALS ONLY book club! A book club at Klyde Warren Park featuring local favorites handpicked by us, The Wild Detectives. 

In October, we will be discussing THE DEVIL’S COUNTRY, by Harry Hunsicker. Pick your copy and join us, and the author, for an open discussion about the book, at The Dallas News Reading and Games Room in Klyde Warren Park. 

Book Description: Former Texas Ranger Arlo Baines didn’t come to the tiny West Texas town of Piedra Springs to cause trouble. After his wife and children were murdered, Arlo just wants to be left alone. Moving from place to place seems to be the only thing that eases the pain of his family’s violent end. But a chance encounter outside a bar forces him to rescue a terrified woman and her children from mysterious attackers. When the woman turns up murdered the next day–her children missing–Arlo becomes the primary suspect in exactly the same type of crime he is trying desperately to forget. 

Harry Hunsicker is the former executive vice-president of the Mystery Writers of America and the author of seven crime thrillers. His work has been short-listed for both the Shamus and Thriller Awards. Hunsicker’s story “West of Nowhere,” originally published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, was selected for inclusion in the anthology The Best American Mystery Stories 2011. His latest novel, "The Devil’s Country," was published in April 2017 by Thomas & Mercer.
