Mystery
Hayward is a sleepy Southwestern town full of cattle,
trucks, and tumbleweeds. Virgil Dalton’s been the sheriff
for over a dozen years and has lived there all his life.
It’s a place where everybody pretty much knows everybody—
but
they don’t know each others secrets… Buddy Hinton is just a good ole boy. So when he disappears
after a night drinking at the Black Bull, his friends just
figure he went down to Mexico to find himself a girlfriend
and eventually will come back. But this case quickly
becomes
a homicide after the sheriff discovers the missing man
floating in one of his stock tanks. For a man who wasn’t known to have enemies, Buddy clearly
upset someone. Figuring out who that was will require
Virgil
and his deputy, Jimmy, to retrace Buddy’s last steps—and
to
remain a step ahead of a murderer who may have no qualms
about killing again …

Fantastic first out of the gate-- thank you so much. Authors as great as Steve Hamilton are few & far between. Really enjoyed use of five senses in descriptions, characters so well-developed, plot just carefully constructed to keep me reading to the end, surprised & disappointed in the "bad guy's" identity. Grateful for your sharing such skillful & talented writing. (Evie Gathright 8:14pm December 1, 2014)
