The Rattlesnake Cafe - Paperback
by Chinle Miller (Author)
When ex-sheriff and watermelon farmer Bud Shumway agrees to help out his friend, Sheriff Hum Stocks, as a deputy for the winter, he never guesses he'll soon be deep in the rugged and wild Dolores Triangle, trying to solve not only the mystery of a skeleton wearing knee boots, but also the murder of rattlesnake-hunter and wannabe rodeo clown, Chicken Bottoms.
Set in the Dolores Triangle, that area defined by the Colorado-Utah border and the Colorado and Dolores rivers, this mystery will have you mystified and on edge as you follow Bud as he dodges invisible black-ops choppers and deals with friendly bullsnakes, dangerous rattlesnakes, a retired game-show host, rivers that rise without warning, a mule named Otis, a secretive Air Force officer who's a possible imposter, and a young filmmaker making a documentary about his rocketeer friend. All this, along with learning to ballroom dance, a skeleton that disappears into thin air, and a body wearing Hello Kitty slippers, and you'll soon see why Bud wishes he'd never set foot in the Rattlesnake Cafe on the mysterious Dolores Triangle. And of course, back home in Green River, Bud's bumbling replacement, Sheriff Howie, is never far away, as long as he has a phone and can call for advice on everything from dealing with train wrecks to his first police sting in the nearby state park campground. In any case, you'll find out who really killed Chicken Bottoms, and it may not be who you think.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
