Mystery / Amateur Sleuths / Women Sleuths

“It’s a dangerous little county you got here, Sheriff.” Two brutal crimes a hundred miles apart, one the murder of a controversial singer in a small West Texas town and the other an assault on two journalists in nearby Big Bend National Park. What might the incidents have in common? Nothing—and everything. Once again, it’s up to Sheriff Clayton Shoot and Professor Claire Harp to pluck out the heart of this Big Bend Country mystery—third in the series that began with The Window Trail.

J J Rusz is the author of the Big Bend Country Mysteries—focusing on crime and intrigue in Far West Texas and Big Bend National Park. The books are character-driven, with just enough romance and humor to make life in the rugged desert region agreeable.
