WHISPERS OF THE STONES

Mummies and Murder in Wyoming!

Sheriff Jeff McQuede finds "Bartering Bill" Garr murdered at his rural antique store. Only one item is  missing--a rare artifact believed to be the Pedro Mummy.  First discovered in a caved in Wyoming, the Pedro Mummy was reported missing in the 1950s.  Dr. Seth Talbot, newly arrived in town, has put out a fifteen-thousand dollar reward for any information the mummy, hoping that modern technology will prove his theory that a tiny race of people actually existed: one the Shoshones call the Nimirgar, or Little People. 

McQuede is astounded to find the mummy in the trunk of Seth Talbot's car.  Talbot swears he's being set up by rival co-workers--Dr. Arden Reed, in particular--who plans to benefit from his research.

McQuede suspects the theft of the mummy is a red herring used to cover up the true motive for the crime.  The closer he comes to the truth, the deeper McQuwede is drawn into an elaborate hoax that threatens his career and places him in grave danger.

STEALER OF HORSES

Art and murder in the new old west!  

The famous Carlo painting Stealer of Horses sells for cash in a small Wyoming town and gallery owner Sheldon Spence gives the $200,000 to his wife, who walks over to the bank to make the deposit...and never returns.

A witness claims to have seen a frightened-looking Susan Spence  in a battered old Chevy, speeding out of town.  And each succeeding clue reveals a different angle on her disappearance. Sheriff Jeff  McQuede begins to wonder if this is more than a simple case of kidnapping and robbery.  Was Sheldon involved in Susan's disappearance?  Or did Susan and a  lover fake the scheme planning ot run off with the money they stole from Sheldon?  The identity of a victim found shot behind the wheel of the Chevy holds the key to one ominous question: Is Susan Spence a kidnap victim--or is she part of some sinister ploy?

RAPID RIVER HOAX shortlisted for top 50 New Book in 2018!

Dear Readers, 

Exciting news! Rapid River Hoax has been shortlisted for the top 50 new books in 2818! 

Rapid River Hoax is the eight book in the High Country Mystery series. Each book contains a standalone story about the adventures of Wyoming sheriff Jeff McQuede in Coal County.

In this book, McQuede continues to struggle with his on-again, off again romance with Loris, while he attempts to solve the mystery of a missing rafter and embark up on a search for a rare Native American Sheepeater camp.

As authors we travel extensively in Wyoming in the summer to come across new adventures and stories about the past.  The Sheepeaters were a reclusive tribe of Native Americans who are believe to be early Shoshoni.  They lived high in the mountains around what is now Yellowstone Park and other areas. where they hunted sheep and were rarely seen.  They left behind traces of their existence through  wooden structures, pottery, and rare horn bows they used for hunting.

After McQuede is jilted at the altar by his long-time girlfriend, Dawson convinces him that a relaxing river rafting trip is just what he needs to get over his heartaches. Unknown to Dawson, McQuede has come along to investigate the disappearance of a young man who has recently vanished from the lodge.  Andy Norton may be perpetuating one of  his notorious hoaxes or he may be in serious danger.  Dawson also has a secret motive for the trip.  He is searching for a rare Native American Sheepeater camp, a project that draws Loris and her boss and rival, Arden Reed, to the scene.  Surrounded by colorful characters and intrigue, McQuede finds himself in a race to save valuable artifacts and to find out what happened to Andy.
