Sheriff Bo Tully is the brand of Western lawman who uses as much
cunning and guile on the ladies as he does solving his cases. He's a man
with a sense of humor and an instinct for the truth, which comes in
handy when trying to capture killers and establish order in Blight
County.
Sheriff Tully is famous for his hunches--most recently, his suspicion
that local retiree Orville Poulson has been murdered by his ranch
caretaker, Ray Crockett, a sociopath with a criminal record. The only
problem is that Tully has no evidence and no body to prove that a crime
has been committed: supposedly, Orville is alive and well and cashing
his Social Security checks from Spokane.
But before Tully can follow up on Orville's whereabouts, three
unidentified young men are found dead of gusnhot wounds to the head,
execution style, in a huckleberry patch on Scotchman Mountain. With the
help of confident and beautiful FBI agent Angela Phelps, Tully tries to
connect the dots between Poulson's disappearance, the sudden spate of
murders occurring in Blight County, and a big white pickup truck with
dual tires wreaking havoc in the area. But when his few potential leads
prove either impossible to track down or unexpectedly deceased, Tully
must follow his instincts to piece together the puzzle of who is doing
the killing, and why. His suspicions lead him straight into a haunted
swamp, along with Agent Phelps, his womanizing ex-sheriff father, Pap,
expert tracker and good friend Dave, and mountain man Poke. A twisty
case packed with murder and mystery, The Huckleberry Murders is the
most entertaining tale yet in this beloved series.
