Patrick McManus Returns To A Book For All Seasons!
 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. Count on elusive killers, eccentric backwoods characters, and irresistible women in every Sherriff Bo Tully romp through the wilds of Blight County, Idaho. Now if Tully can just stop flattering the ladies long enough to start hunting for clues. Only McManus could mix humor with murder and wind up with genius!
 The Huckleberry Murders
Sherriff Tully's got a bucket-full of mysteries to solve in his latest escapade — he's 'bout certain that a local retiree has been done in by his sociopath caretaker — only thing he's missing is a body, or any other shred of evidence. Then, picking huckleberries for his mother, he finds himself up to his elbows in bodies — with no identification or explanation. Ruminating over the puzzle of the big, white dual-tire pickup, before he knows it Tully finds himself in a haunted swamp with a beautiful FBI agent, his Pap, an expert tracker, and mountain man Poke. It's going to take Tully's famous hunches and more to untangle the twists and turns of what's been called McManus' most entertaining mystery yet.
Praise for The Huckleberry Murders
"In his fourth outing (after The Double-Jack Murders), Sheriff Bo Tully of Blight County, ID, is hip deep in bodies... McManus's folksy narrative ... [has] plenty of humor, aw-shucks moments, and action... Bo Tully is a treat" — Library Journal
 The Double-Jack Murders
In The Double-Jack Murders, 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 escapes prison, his sights set on killing the man who put him behind bars — Sheriff Bo Tully. In an effort to lead his would-be killer into the open, and do a little gold prospecting and fishing while he's at it, Tully heads north with his Pap, and his tracker-friend, Dave. Tully finds himself hunting down one murderer who's probably long dead, while being hunted by another who's very much alive. A fast-moving tale of murder, mayhem, and mining.
