'This is the best madcap cozy to hit the genre since Joan Hess' Maggody series debuted more than 15 years ago.' -Booklist starred review Nothing ever happens in Benteen County, Kansas. Then, on a perfect spring morning, a member of the reality TV program filming in a local pasture is found dead with a Cheyenne arrow sticking out of his back. The natural suspect is Sheriff English's half brother, Mad Dog, the county oddball whose Amerind heritage has made him a born-again Cheyenne. Then, as if the sheriff doesn't have enough to worry about, his wife insists he fly off on a Paris holiday with her before sunset-or else, and bombs and other explosives are going off all over town... Born and raised on the flat earth of central Kansas where Mad Dog & Englishman, Prairie Gothic, and Plains Crazy take place, J.M. Hayes now shares a home in Tucson, AZ with his wife, two computers, four thousand or so books, two German Shepherds, and a Scottish 'Terror.' www.jmhayes-author.com
