THE BLIND DEVOTION OF IMOGENE 

​In 1973, Imogene Taylor is seventy-five years old, on parole for murder. Twelve years earlier, she went to prison for killing her love-of-her-life-husband. She called it an accident. The judge and jury called it murder. Now on parole, Imogene helps her neighbor’s daughter clear out a pyramid of boxes filled with junk in the garage and finds a dead woman who has been hidden for many years. Due to being on parole for murder, she is afraid to report the death and now has to deal with it.​  Putnam also writes the acclaimed Bruno Johnson thrillers.


During his law enforcement career, “Deputy Dave” worked primarily in California on teams for Patrol, Investigations, SWAT, Narcotics, Violent Crimes, Criminal Intelligence, Internal Affairs and the Detective Bureau. He currently spends his time growing organic avocados and writing with his wife Mary and taking care of their three dogs.
