When Merci Bruce brings a World War one airplane-a Curtis JN4 Jenny-to the Bruce Ranch in 1920, she couldn't know the tragedy that would follow. The evening of her maiden flight, a large party crowded the main street of Two Dot, Montana. The next morning the body of the mechanic who traveled to Montana with the airplane is found on the boardwalk in front of the saloon. A hand written note is impaled upon the body by a German bayonet.
Nate Hamilton neighboring rancher known to be enamored of Merci is soon charged with the killing. Merci is certain of Nate's innocence as is Spencer Bruce, her attorney brother. Merci's attention focuses on the bad tempered barkeep as the killer. But there are other possibilities, but nothing that Merci learns seems to tie the crime to any of them. When it comes time for the trial, Spencer and Merci's father, T.
C. Bruce, who had long since traded his days as a trial lawyer for the life of a rancher, is drawn in to the courtroom to try to help save the young neighbor from the hangman's noose.

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.
