The sounding of the last trumpet in the bullring that shimmering hot day in Matamoras, Mexico was meant to signal the kill of the bull by the bullfighter. Instead it was the bullfighter, Carlos Campos, who violently died, horrifically gored by the bull. But Carlos Campos' death was not a mere matter of chance-it was deliberately devised by a malign human hand Carlos Campos was not, it seems, the first of the murderer's victims. Nor was he to be the last. Hugh Rennert, retired U. S. Customs Service agent turned Cameron County, Texas citrus farmer (and still something of an amateur detective), believes a serial killer is on the loose in the borderlands. What is the murderer's motive for these terrible slayings? And when will they ever end? Teaming up with Peter Bounty, the slick, homespun Cameron County sheriff, Hugh Rennert is again on the case, hoping to silence a serial killer's savage tune. It will be a clever reader indeed who beats Hugh Rennert to spotting the killer and the motive for the crimes, but everyone should have a grand time trying. "If you don't like this one," one Midwestern reviewer bluntly declared in 1937, the year The Last Trumpet was originally published, "you're pretty hopeless."

A blood donor is killed, and Sheriff Peter Bounty must figure out why in order to find the murderer. Does someone have a grudge against the sick man's family? Is it another potential donor? What about the strange doctor who has been shunned by the town? Characters and clues abound in this first novel featuring as lead detective the cat-loving Texas Sheriff Peter Bounty, who first appeared in Todd Downing's The Last Trumpet.

The ex-Governor of Texas is traveling with family in preparation for an inadvisable wedding when he is suddenly murdered. His old friend Sheriff Peter Bounty is on hand to try and solve the case. The ex-Governor had enemies, and there are plenty of motives, as Bounty sifts through the clues, suspects, and evidence. This train ride builds suspense to the very last chapter as you follow Bounty on his mission of justice.

Hugh Rennert, now retired from the U. S. customs service and cultivating a citrus grove in Cameron County, Texas, again finds himself south of the border, motoring through the mountains to Victoria to settle a legal dispute with the Mexican owners of a tract of land bordering his own. Stranded by the chipi chipi-an endless drizzling, enervating rain-and the landslide that it produces, Rennert seeks shelter-along with the ten other people who have preceded him-in a providentially located ranch house. At least the ranch house, "a square, one-storied, fortresslike house of adobe roofed with tiles," seems providentially located-until the people stranded there start dying Who will survive this deadliest of nights over Mexico? Tonight no one is safe: not the frightened schoolteacher Miss Pirtle and her devil-may-care driver Mr. Woodmansee, nor those toughs Bohannon and Lurcott, nor the mysterious Mr. Smith, his daughter Wilma and her pistol-packing beau, Keith Kerwick, nor the exceedingly irritating Gulliver Damson, Ph. D., nor the Midwestern oil tycoon Jesse Elkins and his fatally attractive, decades younger wife, Vera, nor even Hugh Rennert himself. Night over Mexico is the final Hugh Rennert mystery. Does it chronicle Hugh Rennert's last night on Earth? Read on and see what happens in this superb Golden Age detective novel, originally published in 1937, about which the Saturday Review raved: "Actions and suspense at concert pitch throughout, characterization vivid, background exotic, method and motive of murder unique. . . . Excellent." As the New York Times Book Review put it, Todd Downing "has again shown us that Mexico, in the hands of one who knows it, makes an excellent background for a mystery story."
