Now she just needs to figure out how to keep them all in the air. Halfway to earning her PI license under her older brother Paul’s not-so-careful watch, she’s scrambling to post more points in the ninja-skill column than the blunder column. Her newest mission: find out why a tourist company’s scavenger hunts are being sabotaged...and why the hunt host winds up dead next to a nine-foot tall guitar. Sam and Paul have also been recruited by their mother to hunt down her boyfriend’s missing panties…and somewhere in all this, Sam has to finally address her brief but tasty reunion with her old-time crush that she’s been keeping on ice. “Clueless In Cleveland…is a spectacular cozy mystery laced with humor.” -Readers’ Favorite “It’s refreshing to find a detective who grocery shops at gas stations and packs licorice plus a racy novel when going on a stakeout.” -Kirkus Reviews “[Sam Carter]…the literary world’s newest, quirkiest, and snarkiest sleuth…” -City Sun Times

Buster's Gold: A Sheriff Evan Coleman novel (Evan Coleman, Sheriff of Saguaro County Book 3)
David Huebner - 2017
Forty years earlier, Buster and a college buddy looked for old Spanish gold in this same area of southwestern Colorado. It started when Ray, his buddy, discovered some pages of an old diary interleaved in the pages of an equally old Bible. He spoke Spanish and when he read the text, it described the escape of two Spanish miners from an Indian massacre in the mountains north of what is now Durango. Buster and his pal spent the better part of two weeks looking for the mine and smelter described in the diary. They found a gold encrusted crucible, but not the smelter. Nor could they locate the stash of gold ingots the diary's author said they had to leave behind to escape the Indian attack. When Buster's friend dies, his daughter sends Buster the bone ash crucible. It stirs found memories and Buster has no trouble convincing Evan to take some time and go treasure hunting with him. Forty years previous, Buster and his pal were on a tight budget. This trip Evan and Buster go first class with state-of-the-art metal detectors, GPS units, a string of horses, and first class food. All starts well, but things become complicated fast when Evan finds a body floating in the West Dolores River. Perhaps Buster and Evan aren't the only treasure hunters interested in Buster's old Spanish gold.
