A bulldozer unearths a young girl's body on a golf course in
Scotland but for some reason, Fergus Murray, the top crime officer
in Tayside seems unwilling to pursue the case. Fergus contacts
Willow Stone, his American cousin and pleads for help. Willow,
Pinky's favorite ex-wife, calls in all her chips and convinces
Pinky, Bear, Flo, and Ettamae to go to the small Scottish town of
Pitlochry to help her cousin find the killer. Along the way the
American's come across a forester with a wonky eye-haggis-the
occasional bad weather spring day-various Scottish policeman all
named McSomething-mutton pie-a near new, sixty-year-old Austin
Taxi-a bathroom that could double for a freezer-the nearly
indecipherable Scottish accent-many glasses of whiskey and
beer-ancient records-a broadsword-and a real Duke Ride with Bear,
Flo, and Henry during their final mad dash across Scotland to try
to stop the murderer before he kills again inside the hallowed
halls of Blair Castle.
Bear's afternoon of beer and baseball is interrupted by a phone
call from a former high school friend who is standing in a pool of
his dead brother's blood. So begins the tale of a cold-blooded
murder and the theft of a two million dollar dime Faced with
bi-coastal murder suspects, Pinky hands Bear and Flo the sweaty
task of tracking down one of the suspects along the hot, humid
North Carolina shoreline while he chooses to pursue the other on
the Kona Coast of Hawaii. But Pinky, after imbibing too many Mai
Tai's with a bevy of sky-goddesses, and facing a mandatory court
appearance, is forced to return to Carson City, sans suspect. Bear
and Flo hit pay dirt, and with the identity of the killer in-hand,
they fly across the Pacific Ocean to the smoggy Beijing airport
where they meet Joe, the uncle of Pinky's Chinese secretary. The
enigmatic Joe quotes Confucius and Shakespeare as he purposefully
guides the dynamic duo to their final destination-oxygen sparse
Lhasa, Tibet.
Brady Blackstone, America's richest and favorite concert performer,
dies in a tragic accident while Bear and Flo, along with thousands
of northern Nevada's music lovers, look on in horror. However,
before Bear can maneuver Flo back to their apartment to complete
her birthday celebration, they stumble across a clue that makes
them question if Brady's death was an accident. In The Big Show
Stopper, Pinky, a sleazy but sucessful defence attorney, and Bear,
a street-wise ex bartender, mix madness with mayhem as you meet
Brady's less than grieving widow-a trigger-happy Carson City Cop
named Ice Conner-travel in first-class luxury with Pinky as he
follows a questionable lead to an exotic location and suffer with
Flo in Bear's old pick up while they drive to another of America's
armpit locations where they discover Brady Blackstone's killer.
A humorous mystery that takes Pinky, Bear and Flo into the wine
country of northern California to discover who turned a famous
winemaker into a purple corpse.
J. Pincus Delmont is the most successful, and ethically challenged
attorney north of Las Vegas, and he's Richard Page's only hope to
escape execution by lethal injection. Pinky quickly determines his
client's tale of betrayal and murder leads to Southern California
and demands investigative help from Bear Zarbarte who owes him a
sizeable chunk of money. The Bear is as big as a tree, street wise,
sort of trustworthy, and not averse to cracking the occasional head
when the need arises. A grumbling Bear drives south where he
discovers, and falls for Flo Sonderlund-a woman with a body to kill
for, and a mouth as caustic as a bucket of lye. By hook and by
crook, Pinky, the Bear, and Flo pry a solution to the murder from a
string of chumps and patsies that stretches from the fertile hills
of Tuscany, Italy to eastern wasteland of Nevada, the home of the
Loneliest Road In America.
