A dark secret lies buried in Muleshoe, Kansas; a secret with roots dating back to the Civil War and a thwarted mission to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. When Mike Bishop arrives in Muleshoe seeking a legendary cache of rare gold coins, he enlists the aid of local Sheriff Laura Moss. The Sheriff cautiously joins Bishop’s search and together they discover a link between the gold and an unexplained series of grisly murders spanning more than a century.But others are racing to recover the treasure as well. The line between good and evil blurs as Bishop and Laura struggle to survive a murderous local legend … a legend that promises to turn the Kansas prairie black with blood.

Great first full novel by author of excellent short stories

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 maggio 2012

Acquisto verificato

Jess Butcher has written interesting and thought provoking short stories (see my review of Final Thoughts). He has now moved over, at least for this book, into writing full-length mysteries. This one focuses on the investigation by Mike Bishop, an ex-convict turned marine instructor of hand to hand combat, then an investigator for lost objects. He is a kind and good looking man, but no one would want to fight him, especially when he is helped by his overweight friend. While helping with this case, he meets and works with a beautiful sheriff.

Butcher tells us that the outlaw Confederate Colonel William Quantrill was killed by Captain Evan Collier in 1864. Butcher quotes a legend that Collier found gold coins in Quantrill's possession as well as six unique Confederate notes. These items were worth a lot of money at the time and considerably more today. Collier is said to have divided half of the coins among his men and kept the remainder for himself. People say that the legend must have been true because Collier became quite rich after the Civil War. When Collier died, his wife deposited some 800 gold coins in the bank along with personal items, perhaps the notes.

The bank was robbed a day after the deposit and the coins and possessions taken. The head robber escaped and had time to hide the coins and possessions before he died. No one has found them since. However, some significant matters occurred, including that some of the coins were found and several people were murdered in a gruesome manner.

An unusually ugly woman is determined to find the coins and is willing to murder to get them. She hires several people to help her find the coins, including killers and Bishop who does not know what the woman is up to. Readers will enjoy this book.

Intriguing Mystery But Flawed

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 21 ottobre 2012

***Warning - Spoilers Included in this Review***

Muleshoe proved to be a very engaging read. I was a little unsure if I really wanted to continue reading when I first started as the 'bad' guys were pretty sickening. I did decide to keep reading, however, and all in all I am glad I did.
The mystery is a good one involving history spanning over a hundred years. At times it was a little hard to follow the characters as the action switched from past to present.

The main characters in this book are very interesting, if not fully fleshed out. There are moments of humor to go along with the action.

It wasn't terribly hard to figure out who the villain was, but the journey is still well worth the time. As pat as the outcome of the book is, there is something terribly satisfying about bad guys getting their comeuppance, and in such a spectacular way as well. If only real life worked like that.

The major complaint I have about this book, which I have with many mystery/suspense books, is the contrived romance. I so wish mystery writers would realize that, if written properly, such tales can stand on their own without having to throw romance into the mix. When this book was getting down to the 'nitty gritty' and the reader is anxious to learn the outcome, there were irritating pauses in the story for 'friends and lovers' time. The flow of the book was majorly hampered by this.

Also, we are asked to believe that a woman who is sharp enough to be Chief of Police and who apparently loves her two small daughters very deeply is so casual as to expose them to a man she's known less than a week and falls for him just as quickly. The last minute 'saving grace' decision to not allow him further into their hearts due to his sketchy way of life is so obviously a contrived device so that the character can go on into the rest of the books of this series unattached.
I would have had much more respect for the Chief if she would have agreed to spend time alone with Mike before even beginning to think about bringing him around her children. Small town sensibilities need not equal gullibility.

I doubt I will read any more of this series. As interesting as this book is, the language and criminal subject matter are just a little too raw for my taste.

Gold, murder and Mike Bishop

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 ottobre 2014

Acquisto verificato

Pretty darned good.

This starts with Mike Bishop and his pal Karl Pfaff having a little talk with a drug dealer. A drug dealer who is a pedophile. He likes young girls. This time he's taken over the granddaughter of a Judge. A Judge who wants her back.

After a few words and broken bones the two men get the message or so Mike thinks.

Mike then gets a call from a Susan Dunbar.

Dunbar is someone Mike knows and really doesn't like or trust.

Dunbar wants Mike to go to Muleshoe, Kansas. She wants Mike to assist a writer, Anne Graham, on the history of Muleshoe to include missing gold. The gold is what Dunbar is after.

Muleshoe is a little town with a big history. A history that involves confederate gold, decapitated bodies and quite a Civil War story.

So begins one pretty darned good read.

This one has murder, a pair of murderers, Susan Dunbar, Ann Graham, her friend Francis Ledford, retired Sheriff Peak, his son Dewitt, a basement, a murderer named Talltree, the Muleshoe Chief of Police Laura Moss and Mike Bishop in a race to figure it all out.

Beheadings and Civil War Treasure

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 luglio 2013

Acquisto verificato

The story begins with a pawn broker found beheaded with a civil war gold coin in his mouth. To paraphrase a song, evil may grow in the dark but it does live in people's minds. Mike is a fixer , ex-military with like friends, who has a knack for finding things or making problems go away. He prefers doing it by the book, but does not fret doing a little (or a lot) extra to stop those who appear invincible to lawful persuasion.

Mike is hired to find the rest of the coins, a writer is hired to do a story about people (who may have had contact with the coins) and he is assigned to work with her without her knowing that his assignment is the coins, not just to help her interview.

Beheadings and other troubles have followed the treasure and continue. Evil finds an equal lover and they do deserve each other.

Quite a fascinating tale. So many, at least fictional heroes, seems to step outside the law, however, if I faced the kind of people he dealt with, I would want him on my side. The character reminds me a bit of Jason Statham of the "Transporter" movie series, with his quick wit, dry humor, and ability to handle the monsters.
