Mystery
The eagerly awaited third novel in Patrick F. McManus's
bestselling mystery series finds Sheriff Bo Tully with his
hands full of elusive killers, eccentric backwoods
characters, and irresistible women in this latest romp
through the wilds of Blight County, Idaho. Sheriff Bo Tully is the kind of western lawman who's as good
with the ladies as he is with his guns, and he never lets a
death threat get in the way of a good barbecue. He's a man
with a sense of humor, which comes in handy when trying to
establish order in Blight County. In this latest tale, Tully pursues a seventy-five-year-old
missing persons case in which a pair of gold miners (a
two-man drilling team known as a double-jack) mysteriously
disappeared just as they hit the mother lode in a remote
part of Blight County. Meanwhile, a second, more threatening
case looms large. After serving only two months of a life
sentence, a mentally unstable murderer named Kincaid -- a
nasty piece of work if there ever was one -- manages to
escape prison, setting his sights on killing the man who put
him behind bars: one Sheriff Bo Tully. In an effort to lead
his would-be killer into the open, and also to do a little
gold prospecting and fishing while he's at it, Tully heads
north with his ex-sheriff father, Pap, and his friend and
expert tracker, Dave. As the two cases play themselves out, Sheriff Tully finds
himself hunting down one murderer who's probably long dead,
and being hunted by another who's very much alive. A
fast-moving tale of murder, mayhem, and mining, The
Double-Jack Murders is Patrick F. McManus's darkest,
most entertaining mystery yet.
