Par B. J Daniels. 2022
"Daniels is a perennial favorite, and I might go as far as to label her the cowboy whisperer." — BookPage…
Small towns can house big secrets... Former cop Jasper Cole has come home to Buckhorn to ranch—and to find some peace. But there's one part of his past he doesn't object to facing again. Darby Fulton acts like she's forgotten the searing one-night stand they shared in college, but to Jasper, she's as fascinating and tempting as ever. And when she's drawn into an unsettling local mystery, he follows, despite his misgivings. Bad things have been happening to Buckhorn residents, and Darby's sure it has something to do with a new store called Gossip. As a newspaper publisher, she can't ignore the story, any more than she can ignore her deep attraction to Jasper. And as their investigation reignites that spark, it also pulls them both into a twisted scheme of revenge, where secrets are a deadly weapon... Don't miss Under a Killer Moon, the next title in B.J.

Par Peter Bowen. 1995
A &“plain-spoken, deep-thinking Montana cattle inspector&” takes on a serial killer in DC (The New York Times Book Review). …
With misgivings, cattle inspector and sometime deputy Gabriel Du Pré has left his hometown of Toussaint, Montana, for big-city Washington, DC, where the Métis Indian fiddler has agreed to play his people&’s music for a Smithsonian festival. But like the frightened and confused horse galloping wildly down the National Mall, Du Pré is very much out of his element. He does know how to catch and calm a runaway horse, however. If only catching a killer could be so simple. When a Cree woman from Canada who came to sing in the festival is found murdered, her death is just the first in a series of fatal attacks on Native Americans. Each killing is foretold by a shaman, and each time a primitive weapon is used. As the body count rises, Du Pré fears he might be the serial killer&’s ultimate target. New York Times–bestselling author Ridley Pearson says about Peter Bowen&’s Montana mysteries: &“The best of Tony Hillerman meets Zane Grey . . . Du Pré is a character of legendary proportions.&” And Booklist calls Gabriel Du Pré &“one of the most unusual characters working the fictional homicide beat.&”Specimen Song is the 2nd book in The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.Where The Sea Used To Be: A Novel
