This box set includes two mystery novels written by Edgar and Shamus Award finalist Ben Rehder. Included are BUCK FEVER (first novel in the Blanco County mystery series) and GONE THE NEXT (first novel in the Roy Ballard mystery series). BUCK FEVER: It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas. GONE THE NEXT: Meet Roy Ballard, freelance videographer with a knack for catching insurance cheats. He's working a routine case, complete with hours of tedious surveillance, when he sees something that shakes him to the core. There, with the subject, is a little blond girl wearing a pink top and denim shorts -- the same outfit worn by Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted the day before. When the police are skeptical of Ballard's report -- and with his history, who can blame them? -- it's the beginning of the most important case of his life.

Six Mile Creek by Richard Helms (Back Alley Books) (15 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

A riveting new rural thriller from three-time Shamus Award nominee and two-time Derringer Award winner Richard Helms! Prosperity, North Carolina, used to be a red clay farming community populated mostly by the descendents of families that had settled the land over two centuries earlier. Then, developers from a huge city in the next county discovered its rolling hills and winding streams, and decided to turn it into a suburb. Former Atlanta cop and hometown high school football hero Judd Wheeler returned to Prosperity eight years ago to take a position as the Chief of the new Police Department. With one tragic exception, it's been a quiet, uneventful job. Now, the body of a young illegal immigrant Mexican girl has been found alongside the banks of Six Mile Creek. For the first time since his return to Prosperity, Wheeler finds himself with a murder on his hands. His investigation will place him in direct opposition with his closest childhood friend, ratchet up racial and class tensions in a community already stretched to the limit, and nearly tear his quiet little town to pieces as he searches for the murderer of Gypsy Camareno. At the same time, coincidences he can't ignore will stoke Chief Wheeler's own nightmares of terrible events years earlier, and interfere with his ability to see the case clearly. In the small North Carolina town of Prosperity, the line between desperation and salvation runs right down the middle of Six Mile Creek.

Spurious Scrapper: A Gritty Crime Drama Set In North Wales by George Veck (13 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

''Spurious Scrapper is a fast-moving and grimly hilarious novel that takes the reader into a wretched subterranean world that is as appalling as it is compelling. Highly recommended.'' Be careful who you keep up at night. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chrissy's parties never stop in the profitable confines of his locally renowned sesh pad. Fuelled by North Wales' lack of prosperity, his aimless cretin entourage are dragged along for a parasitic, rampant ride, rinsing the deprived town's insatiable addicts of their spare change. When Sam, a naïve, straight-edged student moves in and jeopardizes this anarchic way of life, Chrissy stops at nothing to get him onside. Such short-term brazen gain has long tarnished Chrissy's local reputation. Wanting to escape this pit-hole existence is great, but being allowed to execute change is a privilege only some get. Tight-knit communities sometimes forgive, but rarely forget. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ''Very well written book. It would also be great for the younger generation to read to understand what drugs do in the long run to people and why they should avoid them.'' - Cassandra Doon - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5345574323 ''A really eye opening read that shows the author's skill and writing prowess and a book I certainly wont be forgetting.'' - Mark Fearn - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5459381331 ''Spurious Scrapper is a fast-moving and grimly hilarious novel that takes the reader into a wretched subterranean world that is as appalling as it is compelling.
