The Beartooth Cafe
Summary
When ex-sheriff and watermelon farmer Bud Shumway and his wife, Wilma Jean, head to Montana to pursue Bud's dream of learning to fly-fish, Bud never guesses he'll soon be deeply involved in trying to solve the mystery of a missing lunch lady he's never met, as well as trying to stay off the radar of a strange religious cult that believes in immortality while plotting to kill people. Set in the magnificent Absaroka Mountains near Yellowstone National Park, this mystery will have you mystified and on edge as you follow Bud as he witnesses a grizzly bear resurrection, meets a young investigative reporter with a knack for following the wrong person, and dodges a shady John Deere salesman and religious guru, who Bud knows are up to no good. All this, along with a combine demolition derby, meeting a Crow medicine woman with a cryptic message, losing his two beloved dogs, finding a fish made of stone, exploring old underground Prohibition tunnels, wrecking model railroads, and worrying about the Yellowstone supervolcano exploding, and you'll soon see why Bud wishes he'd never set foot in the Beartooth Cafe. And of course, back home in Green River, Sheriff Howie tries to mediate ongoing feuds between Old Man Green and Junkyard Goldie, hoping Bud can keep them from killing each other, even though he's 1,000 miles away. In any case, you'll find out what really happened to the lunch lady, and it might not be what you think.

The Yellow Cat Cafe
Summary
When a mystery writer from New York shows up in Sheriff Bud Shumway's little Utah town, he doesn’t think much about it, other than to note that she seems to be avoiding him. But when a famous opera singer, also from New York, shows up shortly thereafter, Bud begins to worry that fact might follow fiction after he discovers that the writer’s latest book is about the murder of an opera singer. Join Bud as he follows the pair into the wild and remote Yellow Cat Flats, a landscape that’s anything but flat, trying to prevent a potential murder while attempting to solve one already committed - all while dealing with lost tourists, a car-theft ring, a pack of rock hounds, a couple of well-seasoned desert rats with their own bootleg radio show, and trying to train his dog, Lindie, in the fine art of search and rescue. This is book 12 in the Bud Shumway Mystery series.

The Creature of Lituya Bay
Summary
Deep in the heart of Alaska’s southeast coast lies a place so fearsome that even the native Tlingits avoid it, a place that’s the home of their earthquake god, Kah Lituya. There, those who drown in the bay’s treacherous entrance become kushtaka, ghost-like beings as dangerous as the bay itself.
In this quintessential Rusty Wilson story, a desperate man goes to Lituya Bay to die, but soon finds that the place holds other deeper secrets.
With only the jacket on his back, he must decide if he instead wants to live, and if so, how to outwit the hand of his blackest fears and outsmart a creature that wishes him dead. And even if he can outwit the creature, can he survive the many other dangers of Lituya Bay?
"This is a fantastic story, evocative and eerie with a real feel for the landscape and mythos. It’s the perfect Rusty tale." (Roger Dean Miller, author of the popular comedy thriller, Bombing Hoffman).

The Sunnyside Cafe
Summary
When Sheriff Bud Shumway’s Aunt Ginger asks him to deliver a stove to her new cafe in Sunnyside, Utah, Bud has no idea that he'll soon be in the middle of trying to solve how his Uncle Hank's friend, Jimmy Johnson, was killed, even though the giant three-toed track left in the middle of Jimmy's back points to the suspect as being some form of dinosaur. But that mystery soon takes a back seat to solving who is looting ancient Fremont antiquities from the famous Range Creek Canyon, where Bud and his geologist friend Shorty undertake a spy mission, accompanied by the elderly Mrs. Jensen, known for being a thorn in Bud's side back home in Green River, a thorn made tolerable only by her delicious sugar cookies. Soon Bud is dealing with all kinds of mayhem, from the robbery of the Sunnyside Mining Museum to missing rafts and a mysterious box found floating on the river, as well as a stranger wandering through the night everywhere Bud goes. Add in Deputy Howie's run for Mayor of Green River on a rockabilly platform, strange dinosaur calls, a missing figurine, a pair of bumbling crooks, a mysterious shield, hep cats, and hot rods, and there's never a dull moment in the high Utah desert. This is book number 14 in the Bud Shumway Mystery Series.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Summary
Well known as a "children's book," The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is rich in eloquent and sophisticated language, and filled with realistic characters who become locked in life and death struggles.There is a murder, stolen treasure, and death by starvation. Add a love story, a buddy story, and a family drama, presented "with a fidelity to circumstance which loses no charm by being realistic in the highest degree, and which gives incomparably the best picture of life in that region as yet known to fiction," as William Dean Howells wrote of Tom Sawyer, in Harper's Magazine in 1876.
