For more than a century, the Inn of the Dancing Bear has been a favorite Perry County tavern, restaurant, and overnight accommodation. When the owner, Trevor Dunne, unearths human skeletal remains on the property, he and his wife, Jill, research the inn's history hoping to discover what happened. A series of fires and the death of a local business owner makes Trevor wonder. Are the old skeletal remains related to what is happening in the present? Have his actions caused an ancient killer to strike again? Does history repeat itself?
Dennis Royer has enjoyed a lengthy career in information technology as a programmer and network administrator. He began writing novels in 2000 as an artistic release from the unforgiving logic of bits and bytes. As a resident of rural Perry County, Pennsylvania, Dennis derives inspiration from his bucolic surroundings. His Perry County mystery novels center on the rural lifestyle and include mountain lions, rustic old inns, Native American culture, and buried treasure!
In a departure from the mystery genre, Dennis's post-apocalyptic saga, "Earthburst" will be released spring 2012.
