Three in Thirteen

Like Charlie Moon and Daisy Perika, Granite Creek Chief of Police Scott Parris appeared in the first of the Charlie Moon/Shaman mysteries, and the ex-Chicago cop has been present ever since as Moon’s best friend.

A warning: In The Shaman Sings, Parris was confronted by a murder so horrific than at least one reader put the book down when she encountered the description of the crime. As it happened, this was not gratuitous violence. A critical clue to the motive of the killing – and the identity of the killer – was to be found in the apparently unnecessary brutality. Enough said. Happily, most of the rest of the series contain nothing quite so awful.

Over the next few days, as I tell you more about some of the rowdy characters and fascinating places in the Charlie Moon/Shaman mysteries, it will be necessary to refer to various titles – which appear below in chronological order:

The Shaman Sings, Feb. 1994

The Shaman Laughs, Dec. 1995
