"Sam Sawyer may become my favorite crime fighter. I can't wait for the next book in this new Florida Keys mystery series ..." -Maryjane Elizabeth Jones, Heat Until BoilingThey called Arthur Broom "The Glades Man," not because he lived way out there in the river of grass, but because he was spending all his money trying to save it. And as one of the richest men in Florida there was much he could do to beat back the onslaughts of agriculture and development that were threatening the greatest wetland in North America. But that sort of thing made some powerful enemies. When he ended up dead in the water, Detective Stella Reynard had good reason to suspect it was more than a simple drowning. She recruited fishing guide and part-time sleuth Sam Sawyer to help her with the case, along with Sam's wife Katie, a full-time forensic botanist. The challenge they faced was not a lack of suspects but too many, such was the list of people whose wealth and power Art Broom had threatened.

"Shaken, not stirred takes on new meaning it this second installment in the modern-day western mystery series by Carl and Jane Bock. Their writing reflects solid knowledge of Arizona and its denizen. And their storytelling is as sharp as a serpent's tooth."- Nicolas Gilmartin Teranzi, Online Critics CornerThere is a killer at large in the oak grasslands of southeastern Arizona whose weapon of choice is a deadly variety of southwestern rattlesnake. Deputy Sheriff Calvin Creede doesn't like snakes, but with the help of veteran herpetologist Dr. Hazel Smith and his fiancé, Maria Obregon, he seeks to find the mountain cave from which a collection of Mojave rattlesnakes recently was looted. Then he must determine which of a variety of suspects has taken them home. In this, the second installment of Arizona Borderland Mysteries, Carl and Jane Bock continue their story about a deputy sheriff in an isolated corner of Arizona's smallest county. It is a land once dominated by a few cowboys and their cattle, but Deputy Creede finds his job increasingly complicated by the trappings of southwestern exurbia, including vineyards, drugs, border tension, and high-end housing developments.

"A fusion of two of my favorite genres -- Westerns and mysteries -- what more could a reader ask for. I can't wait for the next adventure of Deputy Sheriff Calvin Creede. Tell me there are more coming ..."- H.L. Osterman, editor Zane Grey's Two-Gun TalesIn 1540, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado led an expeditionary force from Mexico into what is now the American Southwest. His journey provides the backdrop for this contemporary mystery novel. Deputy Sheriff Calvin Creede mostly works alone in one corner of Arizona's smallest county. His job has been a simple one until the day a flash flood exposes the rusted remains of an old pickup. A body in the truck turns out to be the long-lost son of a prominent ranching family, and forensic evidence shows it was murder. Deputy Creede faces a twenty-year-old cold case with too many suspects, from an ex-girlfriend and jealous family members, to drug lords and looters of archeological sites.

"A great new entry into the pantheon of Florida sleuths ..."- George "Harley" Davidson, Zoo in a Book"Sam Sawyer may become my favorite crime fighter. I can't wait for the next book in this new Florida Keys mystery series ..."- Maryjane Elizabeth Jones, Heat Until BoilingSam Sawyer is a fishing guide and part-time sleuth living in the Florida Keys. He escaped a floundering academic career to realize his childhood dream of becoming a guide. But it has come at a heavy price, because his wife and colleague has chosen to remain behind in the halls of ivy. They see each other all too rarely, and lately things have gotten decidedly chilly. Sam's life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a pair of shoes lying next to a huge crocodile on a sandy bank deep in the everglades, and somebody's feet are still in the shoes. Sam discovers that they belonged to a woman called Mable, who lived reclusively on an isolated key in Florida Bay. Before Sam's life can return to normal, he must find out who killed Mable, and at the same time decide if and how he can rescue a personal life that seems to be running up on the rocks.
