Plains Crazy: A Mad Dog & Englishman Mystery

As spring bursts forth, so does a whole lot more, including murder by arrow, in quiet Benteen County, Kansas. Nothing ever happens here. Then, on a perfect spring morning, a member of the TV crew filming in the area dies with a Cheyenne arrow in his back. A prime suspect is Sheriff English¿s brother, Mad Dog, the county oddball whose American Indian heritage has produced a born-again Cheyenne.

While murder is a bad way to start the day, bombs don¿t improve it. Notes left for authorities hint at a terrorist assault on the heartland. As if the sheriff, known as Englishman, doesn¿t have enough to worry about, his wife has begun acting strangely. She insists he fly off for a Paris holiday with her before sunset¿or else.

As Mad Dog swings between suspect and target, he encounters not only his long-lost high school sweetheart but also a secret that just may explain the unlikely mix of arrows and bombs.

It¿s Murphy¿s Law squared, as Mad Dog and his pet wolf, Hailey, test a shaman¿s powers and Englishman struggles to balance his duties to family and community. It¿s enough to drive anyone crazy.
