Skeleton's Knee (Joe Gunther Mysteries)
3 journalers for this copy...
from amazon.com:
Although its population hovers around a mere 13,000, Brattleboro, Vt., has a four-man, one-woman detective force any metropolis - and any reader - can look up to. In his fourth outing, after Scent of Evil , chief of detectives, Lt. Joe Gunther is confronted with "one very old, cold homicide" after an orthopedic patient in a local hospital dies from an aneurysm brought on by a bullet fired 20 years before. The man had given the hospital no information other than his name, Abraham Fuller, and when asked how he meant to pay, pulled out $5000 in banded bundles of old, worn bills. Gunther investigates the isolated cabin where Fuller had lived a hermit's life since the hippie days, and discovers a chart of odd symbols, an empty holster, some ancient bullets--and a bag containing $300,000. But it's the discovery of a skeleton in Fuller's carefully tended garden that sends Gunther to Chicago for the second half of the book.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Putting this in 300dogs' "The" bookbox - enjoy!
Selected this book from the "The" Bookbox where all book titles start with The. I have never heard of this author and it looks very interesting. It didn't travel very far this time but it will get another chance soon! Looking forward to reading it very soon then it will go travelling.
I finally got around to reading this one, sorry it took me so long! This was a good little mystery with a unidentified body found after what appears to be years missing and the hunt is on to find out who it was and how they died.
I would be up for reading more in this series and this one will be traveling to a new home soon.
