Tuck Tucker, the poker-playing slacker sleuth first introduced to mystery fans in The St. Charles House, and his beloved Cheerio-eating golden retriever, Pig Dog, return in a new adventure.
If a Texan says, “He’s done gone to Willie’s Place,” it means, "He’s died and gone to heaven."
When Tuck is invited to a 13th-year high-school class reunion at Willie Nelson’s former ranch—now owned by one of his former classmates—he’s not really planning on finding heaven, or dying.

And if Tuck doesn’t figure out who the killer is before the end of the retreat, he just might end up staying at Willie’s house . . . for good.
