Transcription

1 A DEAD MAN S TALE James D. Doss At seven feet tall, Colorado rancher and Ute tribal investigator Charlie Moon is a larger-than-life figure and a force to be reckoned with, on and off the reservation. James D. Doss is the clear successor to Tony Hillerman with this sharp and engrossing Native American series. Perfect for fans of Tony Hillermann and Dana Stabenow. The series remains fresh and exciting; Kirkus raves top-flight work from Doss a droll fandango. A Dead Man s Tale is scheduled to tie in with the 11/11 hardcover publication of Coffin Man. Memorable characters adding zest to the crazy tale Funny, even slapstick in places, thanks mostly to Moon s sharp-tongued, unashamedly duplicitous Aunt Daisy, this wacky story offers both good characters and a puzzle that won t be too easily solved.

Burned beyond recognition. Alaska troopers arrested two young men both of whom had dated Rachelle and claimed to still love her. Investigators grilled Rachelle until she made shocking and apparently incriminating revelations. Fleeman s The Stranger in My Bed hit the New York Times bestseller list.
