From Melanie Jackson, bestselling author of the Chloe Boston Mysteries, comes Points West, the fifth book in the entertaining and suspenseful Butterscotch Jones Canadian Cozy Mysteries.
McIntyre's Gulch has seen its share of strange happenings, bad luck, close calls, and brushes with the law. In a remote Canadian village where everybody knows everybody-and everybody has an opinion-trouble is rarely simple.
But this time, trouble arrives bleeding, desperate, and dying.
When a corrupt Mountie staggers to Butterscotch Jones's doorstep and drops dead, the Gulch is thrown into its most dangerous mystery yet. This is no ordinary death, no small-town misunderstanding, and no harmless bit of northern mischief. The dead policeman was a traitor, a purveyor of secrets, and a man with enemies powerful enough to follow him to the end of the road.
Mountie Chuck Goodhead knows exactly what the dead man was.
What he does not know is why the man used his final moments to come to Butterscotch.
Now dark forces are closing in on McIntyre's Gulch. Dangerous people want answers. Others want silence. And somewhere in the dead man's secrets lies a truth worth killing for.
Butterscotch and Chuck must work quickly to uncover what the corrupt Mountie knew, whom he betrayed, and why his last desperate act brought danger straight to their door. In a village already famous for misadventure, the stakes have never been higher.
With its mix of small-town charm, Canadian wilderness atmosphere, eccentric characters, dry humor, suspense, and danger, Points West is perfect for readers who enjoy cozy mysteries with a sharper edge, a strong sense of place, and heroines who refuse to back down when trouble comes calling.
A dying man came west with a secret.
Now Butterscotch Jones has to find out why.
Before the people hunting for that secret find her first.
