Sinopsis

An amateur sleuth hunts for dirt on a murder and three missing maids in this classic English mystery by the author of the Department Z series. 
 
When not working at MI5, Patrick Dawlish frequently collaborates with the police to catch murderous criminals. Of course, many of the police, in turn, like to remind Dawlish that he isn’t one of them and he should keep his feet out of the murky waters of crime. Dawlish is all too happy to oblige, but Superintendent Trivett of Scotland Yard needs his help . . .  
 
Housekeepers are disappearing in the isolated town of Terne. Three to be precise—all young women and all employed by the same man. Mr. Clive Dickerson is suspiciously aloof about the matter, especially after a woman wearing the clothes of one of the missing is found dead in a river. To determine what is going on—and locate the remaining women—Dawlish must first find someone willing to go undercover and infiltrate Dickerson’s mansion. But who could be so daring? Or so foolish?

    The truth takes a detour in this cozy camping whodunit set in the beautiful New Mexico wilderness—first in the Black Horse Campground Mystery series. 
     
     
      
    The Black Horse Campground, outside of Bonney, New Mexico, has been in Corrie Black's family for years. But since her father's death, she's been running it alone—along with her trusted employees and an eccentric group of year-rounders and regular visitors. 
     
     
      
    In between spring break and summer is usually a downtime for Corrie and the campground, even with Bike Rally Weekend on the horizon. This April, however, peace and quiet are not an option. A disconcertingly attractive biker arrives, who arouses the suspicions of Corrie's childhood friend and one-time ex, Sheriff Rick Sutton. Then, one of Corrie's favorite guests is shot dead in his own RV, leaving his wheelchair-bound wife in the care of a son whom no one knew existed. 
     
     
      
    And though Corrie is warned by Rick to stay out of his investigation, she can't sit by while her home and friends are threatened. And no one is more surprised than Corrie when she discovers that her little piece of paradise is brimming with secrets and scandals that put a gun in the hands of a most unlikely killer . . .

    When he learns of his parents' death in a train crash, Sam Dana makes his way home to the Bar D ranch—not to claim it, but to settle the estate and move on. He has no need for the hard life of a cattleman after finally striking it big as a prospector. 
     
     
      
    But what Sam finds is far from the home he remembers. The ranch has become an armed camp led by his cantankerous half-brother, Walt, who's been hiring men more skilled with a six-gun than a lasso. In Sam's absence, things have gone downhill in all ways possible. But worst of all is the rumor that Walt has been pilfering livestock and selling it as his own. Cattle thieves make a lot of enemies in the Old West, and Walt's enemies want his land, his stock, and his head. 
     
     
      
    Sam could cut and run. This problem wasn't his making. But the Bar D is still half his—and no man is going to take that away without a fight . . . 
     
     
      
    Luke Short helped transform the stories of the American West from dime-store pulp into a respected and immensely popular genre. Trouble Country is a classic western adventure rich in grit, authenticity, and intrigue.
