Bo Tully, sheriff of Blight County, Idaho, has seen his share of small-town crime. Fact is, everyone in the area knows Tully, and knows his Blight Way of doing things. But when he and his deputy hike into the deep woods, tracking a suspected bank robber, little do they realize that they are about to witness a murder—and that, in turn, will lead the sheriff on an intricate trail, a series of twists and turns demanding his utmost attention and keenest crime-solving abilities.
Along the way, Tully has to deal with the likes of a shadowy local named Gridley Shanks, who seems to have a spider web of connections throughout town; two out-of-town elk hunters who don’t know much about elk hunting, but are tied to the murder; an elderly couple who end up dead while caring for a rundown mansion and property out of town; a sassy assistant named Daisy; an attractive, tough FBI agent named Angie, who suddenly finds herself involved in her first murder investigation; and a host of other characters. There’s also the case of missing loot, which no one can find—at least, until Tully puts his mind to it.
Will Tully get his man (or men) this time? Does the Blight Way ever fail? Read another page-turning mystery turned misadventure by New York Times bestselling author, Patrick F. McManus.

Patrick F. McManus is a humor writer who began writing as an undergrad at Washington State University. Hundreds of his humor articles have been published in magazines such as Field & Stream and Outdoor Life. He has published more than a dozen humor books, several mysteries, and a children’s humor book. Among his recent works are The Tamarack Murders, The Horse in My Garage, Kerplunk!, and The Huckleberry Murders. He lives in Spokane, Washington.
Bo Tully, sheriff of Blight County, Idaho, is tracking the gang who robbed a local bank. Tully thinks the money was handed off during the getaway but doesn’t know to whom. It may have been to a charming local hustler named Gridley Shanks, but there are also questions regarding two out-of-state elk hunters. In his fifth adventure, Tully mobilizes a ragtag group of his own deputies and a handful of “civilian deputies” to help solve the case. McManus is best known as a humorist who writes about the outdoors, and certainly his sly wit is omnipresent in his Tully novels. Readers who enjoy Bill Crider’s Sheriff Dan Rhodes mysteries or Steven F. Havill’s Posadas County novels will find much to enjoy here, as McManus captures the rhythms of small-town life and its citizenry in all their resplendent quirkiness. For readers who like mayhem presented with a smile. --Wes Lukowsky
