Dance of the Winnebagos -- A novel from the Multiple National Award-winning Author of the Deadwood Mystery Series!"Ann Charles delivers laugh-out-loud dialogue, unforgettable characters, and pulse-pounding suspense." ~Vicki Lewis Thompson, New York Times Bestselling Author ***You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll want even more!*** When Claire's grandfather and his army buddies converge in the Arizona desert to find new wives, it's her thankless job to keep them out of trouble with the opposite sex. But when she finds a human leg bone and partners with a reluctant geotechnician to dig up secrets from the past, trouble finds her. If she doesn't stop digging, she could end up dead. *** "Don't pick up one of Ann Charles' mystery romances if you have other pressing engagements. Ms. Charles writes with an engaging style that is demonstrably impossible to set down. The latest example of this attack on your busy schedule is Dance of the Winnebagos. Spunky heroine Claire Morgan digs up a tangled mess of treasure, murder and just maybe the love of her life while supposedly on a mercy mission to babysit her randy old grandpa. Quirky characters, plenty of menace and skullduggery in abandoned old mines and loads of good, clean sex hustles this story briskly on its way. Four stars and a passel of happy hoots for Dance of the Winnebagos." ~John Klawitter, author of the prize-winning Hollywood Havoc action thriller novels "Ann Charles crafts another hilarious romp of a mystery with quirky characters and laugh-out-loud dialogue." ~Amber Scott, author of Soul Search and Fierce Dawn "Hang on to your hats, Deadwood fans, because you're gonna love the Jackrabbit Junction series, too! If you love mystery with a little romance and a lot of humor, you're in for a wild ride with Dance of the Winnebagos." ~Jacquie Rogers, author of Much Ado About Marshals "The quips come fast and furious and the plot twists with more alacrity than a jackrabbit on the run from a coyote in this fast-paced humorous mystery/thriller/romance. Ann Charles proves once again she has the ability to drive us to turn the page in order to find out what's in store for her cast of lovable, and sometimes crotchety, cast of characters." ~Susan Schreyer, author of Death By A Dark Horse Dance of the Winnebagos Cover Art by C.S.
