Sick Puppy (Maggie #2): Junker and former alt-country-rocker Maggie Killian tucks tail back to Texas with Louise, the mutt her bull-riding ex foisted on her in Wyoming after he gave another woman his heart. Maggie runs straight to Gary Fuller—her long time best friend-with-benefits and the biggest Texas country music star since George Strait—but arrives too late to save him from dying in a fire. She just wants to lick her wounds in her own bed with nothing save a bottle for comfort, but Maggie’s short term renter refuses to budge from her home.

Because the two have bonded over his guitar lessons, Maggie worries about Andy, even as she is struggling to resolve her suddenly resurrecting musical past, the demolished business in her present, and the complexity of a future with a lover who has suffered from traumatic brain injury since his bull riding days, his disapproving sister, and his Alzheimer’s-stricken mother. ˃˃˃ See why Pamela wins contests and makes best seller lists.

Book Description

Nora Roberts meets Yellowstone in this brand new must read series from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When an investment guru turns up dead in the septic tank behind her husband’s new Wyoming lodge, Jennifer must put the campaign that could make her the youngest ever female district attorney in Houston on hold to defend the well-lubricated lodge caretaker, or he’ll go down for a murder she’s convinced he didn’t commit. Prosecutor Jennifer Herrington has it all in Texas, until her husband Aaron falls for a ramshackle lodge on the face of the ruggedly beautiful Bighorn Mountains. But before he can sell her on a new life in the cowboy state—one filled with pets and kids, where he’ll trade his fancy veterinary clinic for a simple country practice, and she’ll write the murder mystery she’s always dreamed of—they find a prominent local man in the septic tank, a knife in his temple, long past saving. As an early fall blizzard hits, deputies zero in on George, the caretaker, and not just because the lookalike victim is his sworn enemy and the ex-husband of George’s deceased wife: George is covered in blood with no memories of the night before. Despite the evidence (and lack of working plumbing at the lodge) and nightmares about a childhood trauma in Wyoming that she can't remember, Jennifer feels a connection to George, a man who saves baby skunks, rescues feral cats, and is besotted with the incontinent old dog who was also stabbed and left for dead by the killer. But, even so, when George asks for her help and Aaron begs her to stay, no one is more shocked than Jennifer when she agrees to take the case and search for the real murderer —at least until she can find a replacement lawyer for George and get back to the bright lights of her real life in the big city. Bonus for fans of other PFH series: watch for strong appearances by crossover characters from What Doesn't Kill You and Patrick Flint. A former attorney, Pamela runs an off-the-grid lodge on the face of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, living out the adventures in her books with her husband, rescue dogs and cats, and enormous horses. What readers are saying about Pamela's novels: “A Bob Ross painting with Alfred Hitchcock hidden among the trees.” "Edge-of-your seat nail biter." "Unexpected twists!" "Wow! Wow! Highly entertaining!" “A very exciting book (um... actually a nail-biter), soooo beautifully descriptive, with an underlying story of human connection and family. It's full of action. I was so scared and so mad and so relieved... sometimes all at once!” “Well drawn characters, great scenery, and a kept-me-on-the-edge-of-my-seat story!” "Absolutely unputdownable wonder of a story." "Must read!" "Gripping story. Looking for book two!" "Intense!" "Amazing and well-written read." "Read it in one fell swoop. I could not put it down."

Jack Ryan meets Wind River in this riveting 1970s international mystery set in the rugged Wyoming mountains, from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When a man who isn’t who he claims to be befriends adventurous young doctor Patrick Flint and his teenage son during a wilderness excursion with movers and shakers from across the globe, it puts the father-son duo dead in the bullseye of a murder target.

"Leaving the dead ranch hand on the living room floor, Patrick Flint sucked in a shallow breath and wrenched the door knob in the kitchen, pulling outwards to expose a deep pantry. A bare bulb with a pull string hung from the ceiling, illuminating cans of food and bags of rice, beans, sugar, and flour on the shelves, and a long-legged man with a boot missing from one foot slumped against the base of the wall. He held one hand on his bleeding head, hair color indeterminate. The other pressed into his round, oozing gut. Patrick drew in a sharp breath. This bunkhouse was a bloodbath. What in Hell's half acre had he stumbled into?" “Best book I’ve read in a long time!” 4.7-star series rating. "A roller-coaster ride from the first page to the last!" — Merry, Amazon reader Stag Party is the sixth book in the Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga.

A killer blizzard has hit tiny Buffalo, Wyoming, where Dr. Patrick Flint is trapped inside the hospital with his family, trying to save the life of a prominent local citizen. An injured drifter shows up at the door, and Patrick takes him in. When the power and communications go out that night, people start dying, and the drifter is nowhere to be found. Patrick is caught between his duty to his patient, his loyalty to his family, and his fear for all of their lives. With the storm still raging, will there be any survivors left in the hospital when help finally arrives? “Best books I’ve read in a long time!” "Patrick pulled out his pistol and pointed the barrel at the ground of the ravine, following the sounds of the barking and growling of his Irish wolfhound. He drew a deep breath and rounded the corner, ready for anything. Or he thought he was ready for anything. A big animal. His dog caught in a trap. An out-of-season rattler. But what he found his dog guarding was something no one could ever truly be ready for. A person. Beaten to a pulp. Unrecognizable. The blood, fresh. Possibly dead. No. No, no, no. But wishing it were different didn’t make it so." 4.8-star rating. SITTING DUCK is the seventh book in the Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga.

Book Description

When a killer threatens his family before their testimony in a capital murder trial, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe. A peaceful day of skiing for the family. The murder of a prominent judge’s wife. A witness becomes the next target: thirteen-year-old Perry Flint. Patrick, his wife Susanne, and their kids head to the mountains for a day of skiing. At the lodge, thirteen-year-old Perry is the sole eyewitness to the murder of a prominent judge’s wife, only days before the first capital murder trial in the state of Wyoming since its reinstatement by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Susanne and Trish are gearing up to testify against ruthless killer Billy Kemecke at the trial, unless his criminal family can stop them first. With his family threatened from all sides, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe. “Best book I’ve read in a long time!” “What about us?” To Trish Flint’s surprise, her younger brother Perry’s voice didn’t waver or even crack. “Are you going to kill us?” Their captor turned to him again. “I thought you were smart, but I take it back. Of course I am, Perry. You can identify me, and you were going to tell your family about me. You’re the only thing tying me to the murder of Jeannie Renkin. I’m sorry. It’s nothing personal.” Just then, while their captor’s eyes were still on Perry, a mountain lion jumped in the road right in front of the truck. It was enormous in the dusky gloom of the headlights. Trish screamed. Their captor’s head whipped forward. Arms jerked to the right. The truck lurched toward the rock face towering above them and one of the signs that said the rocks were old as dirt. Their captor wrenched the wheel away from the rock. The truck smashed into the cougar with a sickening thud, skittered to the left, and kept going. Trish’s head snapped forward and she braced herself against the dashboard. Beside her, Perry wasn’t as lucky. His body slammed into the gear shift and dashboard. The weight of his body ripped the rearview mirror off the windshield. For a moment, Trish thought everything was going to be okay, until their captor’s overcorrection sent the truck careening off the side of the road and into the nothingness over Clear Creek.
