After a two-year hiatus from trouble and murder, Garth
Carson has recently expanded his taxidermy business,
Carson's Critters, to include appraising taxidermy
collections for a large insurance company. Arriving at a
meeting with his new Chicago Bears client, Garth finds him
dead on the floor from an apparent bear mauling, with a
gecko hanging from his mouth. When two more of Garth's
clients turn up dead with animal trophies as the murder
weapons, he finds himself a "person of interest" to the
FBI.
Circumstantial evidence starts piling up against Garth with
references to his grandfather. Garth contacts his estranged
hippy mother at a nudist colony and delves into his
family's secret past. Unable to make sense of his mother's
selective memories, Garth finds the FBI and several unknown
people after him. On the run with his soul mate Angie and a
crazy Russian friend, Otto, Garth flees through the Midwest
trying to find answers to the bizarre happenings around
him. These misfits blindly fall from one disaster into
another as they try to piece together the clues.
Winning rave reviews on his taxidermist comedy murder
capers, Brian M. Wiprud continues the tradition with
TAILED. Filled with kooky characters running amok and
absurd situations, readers will love this crazy, funny
mystery.
Garth Carson has gone legit. Complete with briefcase in
hand, he’s appraising taxidermy collections for one of the
largest insurance companies in the country. But when
prominent big-game hunters start dying—apparently
slaughtered by their own taxidermy—Garth’s shiny new career
makes him the FBI’s number one suspect.
On the run with his gal Angie and their favorite Russian
gnome, Otto, Garth finds himself hopscotching across the
heartland, from Hell (Michigan) to Chicago to New Mexico,
on a high-stakes hunt for the real killer—who may be linked
to his own family’s dubious past. But when they stumble
upon a renegade brotherhood, a top secret government
installation, and a former archaeologist who believes
Garth’s nudist mother turned him into a werewolf, will
Garth be one step closer to clearing his name? Or will this
whirlwind of conspiracies spin him straight into the path
of a killer who’s already hot on his tail?
