Book Synopsis

In the year 1889, Swayzee, Indiana bakery owner Nikolai Kaminski appeared in Grant County Circuit Court on charges of murdering his wife Sasha, and her accused lover, Tony Romero. Before being sent off to the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City to serve his twenty-five years-to-life sentence, Kaminski vowed to seek revenge against all the members of his jury, the judge, and even his lawyer. Eighteen years later, the prisoner managed a successful escape in the dead of winter, and by spring, a rash of unconnected killings began taking place in the town of Marion. One by one, men from the community were systematically being slain at the hands of an unknown assailant.

Review Quotes

"Once again author Alan E. Losure captivates readers with a murder mystery filled with the color of the Indiana county that he lives in himself. You Only Die Twice is set, as most of Losure's novels are, in the early 20th century amid the cornfields and gas boom that is part of Grant County's actual history. The style is easy to read and immensely entertaining. The reader can get lost in this historical fiction mystery as characters come alive. Just the latest of Losure's novels, it fits perfectly with the library of works he has written over the years. This book, like all of his previous works, leaves the reader looking forward to his next novel."
