OH, BURY ME NOT
The war between the McFalls and the Drinkwaters had taken a nasty turn: someone had dynamited a reservoir, depriving the Drinkwaters' Double D ranch of its precious water supply. And Aaron McFall's eldest son George was found dead at the site, apparently killed in the blast.
It looked as though George had been the victim of his own plan for wanton destruction, but his old friend Conan Flagg thought otherwise.
Sensing mysteries beyond the immediate tragedy, Conan began to search for both families' secrets and found that revenge was but one motive for murder. There were also romantic entanglements to consider, and something frightening and unnameable as well....
NOTHING'S CERTAIN BUT DEATH
There he lay in a freezer - the late Eliot Nye, IRS auditor. He had been investigating Brian Tally, owner of Surf House Restaurant, for tax fraud. He was last seen alive late the evening before when he had burst in on a boisterous party at the Surf House bar where Tally swung at him.
Tally was the obvious suspect, but Conan Flagg, bookstore owner and amateur detective, discovered enough strong passion among Surf House staffers to make any of them kill.
The big problem was that Nye left a message pointing straight to Tally as his killer. Flagg was stuck with refuting the irrefutable... and pinning the ugly crime on the real killer.
"A fascinating mystery."
Minneapolis Star & Tribune
SEASONS OF DEATH
In 1940 Leland Langtry ran off with his redheaded secretary and $10,000 in company funds...
Or so everyone believed...
Forty years later, Langtry's remains are found in a boarded-up silver mine tunnel. And as the knife still jammed between his ribs had belonged to his partner in Lang-Star Mining, Tom Starbuck - also long since dead - a jury decided that Tom had killed Langtry.
But Tom's widow, Delia, resists that verdict and persuades that very private investigator Conan Flagg to find the real murderer - an impossible job made tougher by the curious reticence of nearly everyone in town whenever Leland Langtry is mentioned... .
