In these three mystery novels set on the Oregon coast, bookstore owner Conan Flagg moonlights in solving murders.
Oh, Bury Me Not
The feud between the McFalls and the Drinkwaters takes a deadly turn when someone dynamites a reservoir and George McFall is found dead at the site, apparently the victim of his own handiwork. George’s friend Conan Flagg suspects otherwise. Digging through both families’ secrets, Conan finds plenty of motives for murder, including revenge, romantic entanglements, and something frighteningly unnamable . . .
Nothing’s Certain but Death
When IRS auditor Eliot Nye is found murdered, no one is at a loss for a suspect. Nye had been investigating Brian Tally, owner of Surf House Restaurant, for tax fraud. He was last seen alive in an altercation at the Surf House where Tally swung at him. But bookstore owner and amateur detective Conan Flagg knows that any IRS auditor as persistent at Eliot is capable of making plenty of enemies . . .
Seasons of Death
Forty years ago, silver mine owner Leland Langtry ran off with his secretary and a small fortune in company funds. Or so everyone believed. When Langtry’s remains are found in a boarded-up mine, a jury pins the murder on his old partner Tom Starbuck—also long-since dead. But Tom’s widow, refusing to see her husband’s name ruined, hires Conan Flagg to dig up forty years of buried secrets to finally get at the truth.
