Synopsis
With his Southwestern series, bestselling author James D. Doss and his dryly humorous, no-nonsense Native American sleuth, Charlie Moon, have brought law and whats going to have to pass for order to Charlies Columbine Ranch and the nearby Ute reservation.
Now the seven-foot rancher and part-time tribal investigator wants to carve out a little more space for himself alongside FBI Special Agent Lila Mae McTeague. Thats right: Charlie has it in his head that hes going to get hitched. That is, unless Charlies irascible aunt, her sixteen-year-old niece, and their visions of a dead woman—her throat slit from ear to ear—have anything to say about it.
With a bit of romance and full measure of murder, Snake Dreams, the thirteenth in James D. Dosss widely loved Charlie Moon series, is a haunting tale best told under a full moon and beside a crackling fire.
