While it's obvious that Gabe Beck is a killer, it's unclear how he
goes about his business. Are his methods supernatural? Is Gabe
himself more than human? For certain, the good citizens of Eden,
Arizona, (circa 1880) have nothing to fear from the stranger in
their midst. But the same can't be said for the Choctaw Kid and his
ilk. Can Gabe keep the townsfolk from harm? Will he finally find
the redemption he seeks? Can the love of a woman save him? How high
will the body-count go? These and other questions will be answered
in The Angel of Death.

A mythical monster and a body on a beach---combine to stir things
up in otherwise tranquil Anishanabe County. In this third
installment of the mystery series---An Artistic Death---the jogging
deputy sheriff is once more called upon to solve a mystery and
dispense justice.
The bucolic calm of a resort community is shattered by a horrendous
multiple murder. A deputy sheriff, who stumbles upon the grisly
crime scene, is aided in his investigation by only scant physical
evidence and a single surviving witness--the family pet. In
addition, the sleuth's personal life is troubled by an incipient
romance, a vexatious political race, and a probable link between a
past inquiry and the recent killings. With a dogged persistence,
though, the deputy is able to uncover a sinister motive of
blackmail and revenge, and solves the mystery of The Turner
Tragedy. The Turner Tragedy is a sequel to the first installment in
this mystery series, The Dunbar Curse.
Patricia Mueller and her children are slowly being poisoned.
Circumstances suggest that Patricia's husband is the culprit. The
Protagonist, employed as a deputy sheriff, is thrust into the
unfamiliar role of an investigator. Reluctant to accept the
mounting evidence against his neighbor, he doggedly pursues other
avenues of inquiry. In the process of solving this mystery, the
deputy becomes involved with an aggravated assault, a corpse, a
rural cemetery, and long-suppressed secrets.
