Next Author Book Signings

, 2011  James D. Doss – Coffin Man  Sorry this event has been cancelled! Signed books will be available!  Just contact me at Murder By the Book.

  This is Doss’ 16th book featuring part-time tribal investigator & Colorado Rancher, Charlie Moon.  When Colorado rancher and part-time tribal investigator Charlie Moon gets a call from Wanda Naranjo, she’s panicked. Not  only is her sink leaking, which Moon graciously fixes, but her sixteen-year-old daughter, Betty, has gone missing.  And that’s not all. Betty claimed to be going to see a school counselor on what turned out to be his day off. So was she running away or was she abducted? Moon’s best friend, Granite Creek Chief of Police Scott Parris, doesn’t believe any of it and suspects that Wanda tricked them into doing a little emergency plumbing. While it’s enough to make Parris’s blood boil, Moon can’t shake the feeling that some other foul play might be at work.
Signing location:  Mortgage West Gallery in the Plum Building, 1705 S. Pearl St., Denver, CO 80210
