A rodeo bronc rider must stay astride his horse for 8 seconds in order to qualify. Cassius Bruce, a senior at Montana State College in 1950 can usually do just that, both in bareback and saddle bronc competitions. He enjoys every aspect of rodeo until the news of the murder of a lovely coed who was his friend and fellow rodeoer reaches him. The coroner says her death occurred in fewer than 8 Seconds.
Cass is stunned when he realizes he is the prime suspect in the crime of murder in the first degree, and his life is rocked for far longer than 8 Seconds. How can he defend himself when there are no clues to the real killer?The Bruce family (first met in Jim Moore's previous novels) gathers to defend the innocence of the young cowboy who swears he did not kill the young woman found dead at the bottom of the pool at Hunter's Hot Springs.
Will his Aunt Merci and her law partner be able to convince a jury that Cass is telling the truth?

Biographie de Jim Moore

Jim Moore came from a home where reading was encouraged. His parents both enjoyed books so the house was filled with reading material, which he took advantage of from a young age. Along the highway from his family ranch near Two Dot, Montana to Bozeman, the old Jawbone road bed is visible at places. In passing by, it often occurred to him that a good yarn could be wrapped around the story of the railroad.
About twelve years ago, he decided to see if he could write it. Thus came into being Ride the Jawbone. Other published titles by Jim Moore include: Election Day, The Body on the Floor of the Rotunda, and The Whole Nine Yarn, a compilation of nine of his short stories, and The Jenny. Another legal thriller, 8 Seconds, is slated for publication in 2017. Jim Moore has spent his life as a cattle rancher and a lawyer.
He was raised and spent most of his life on the Moore ranch near Two Dot, Montana. His father brought a World War I airplane-a Curtis JN4 Jenny-to the family ranch in 1920 and barnstormed the state. Those experiences, as told to his son, seemed a proper basis for a legal murder mystery. An attractive young woman as the one with the flying machine made for a better yarn. Now retired, Jim lives quietly with his wife, Kay, on their farm south of Bozeman, Montana.
He continues to write legal murder mysteries.
