The Mummy Case: A Detective Novel

He’s got a chip on his shoulder, steel bolts in his leg, and a mummy case that just turned into murder.When wise-cracking PI Jim Knighthorse is hired by an eccentric souvenir-shop owner to investigate the death of a young historian, it seems open and shut. The kid was found in the desert, out of gas, ruled an accident. Case closed.Except Knighthorse doesn’t do 'closed.'Because the dead historian was investigating “Sylvester,” a hundred-year-old mummified cowboy on display in the back of the shop—and the more Jim digs, the more he suspects both murders are connected, separated by a century but bound by a single deadly secret.From Huntington Beach boardwalk dives to scorching Mojave ghost towns, Knighthorse is on the trail—dodging hostile locals, needling old-school cops, and butting heads with the powerful family who owns the town of Rawhide. All while wrestling with his own demons: a drinking problem that won’t stay buried, the cold case murder of his mother, and the one woman who knows all his scars and loves him anyway.The Mummy Caseis the second novel in the acclaimed Jim Knighthorse mystery series. Funny, gritty, and packed with heart, it’s perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker’sSpenser, Lee Child’sJack Reacher, and classic California noir with a modern twist.Read more
