They're put to the test in Timber Creek, a small town in Colorado, and the result is a satisfying mystery with a couple of cops you're going to be glad to meet. Check it out."
A Killing At Cotton Hill (2013)
(Samuel Craddock Mysteries, book 1)
Terry Shames
"Readers are going to love [Samuel Craddock] and they'll want to visit him and Jarrett Creek, Texas, often."
Nights of the Red Moon (2010)
Milton T Burton
"Milton Burton writes about East Texas with wit, spice, and insight. His Sequoya County sheriff, Bo Handel, has a shrewd mind to go along with his fancy pistol. He's the kind of man Sheriff Dan Rhodes would share a Dr Pepper with any day."
