Bug Man Suspense 3-in-1 Bundle (A Bug Man Novel)
by Tim DownsThe Bug Man Suspense Bundle is a 3-in-1 set of eBooks from author Tim Downs: First the Dead, Less than Dead, and Ends of the Earth. This series follows Nick Polchak, a quirky forensic entomologist known as "The Bug Man," as he works to uncover murders using his expert knowledge of bugs.In First the Dead Nick tries to find a killer in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina's attack on New Orleans. But the more he digs the stronger--and deadlier--the resistance becomes. Nick is there to collect bodies, and he's going to do just that--especially when he starts finding bodies that were clearly dead before the hurricane. He understands that all forensic evidence will soon disintegrate in the hot, contaminated water . . . and he knows that's exactly what the killer wants to happen.Nick has finally met his match in Less than Dead. When a grave is discovered on property owned by the front-running candidate for the next presidential election, the FBI immediately becomes involved. The graves then vanish and Nick follows local legend to the bizarre Alena who keeps to herself in the mountains of Northern Virginia, training cadaver dogs. Together they discover that this small town--and the presidential-hopeful--have closets full of skeletons.As Ends of the Earth unfolds, Nick struggles to protect a victim's family from agro-terrorists in North Carolina. After dissecting the remains of a bale of marijuana scattered in the tomato fields, Nick learns that the South American marijuana is strangely infested with a common North Carolina insect: the tobacco hornworm. To further confound the mystery, the bugs are infected with a fungus from Asia, and Nick begins to suspect his victim wasn't killed because of the marijuana, but because of the insects it contained. He then discovers that a vicious agricultural scheme is underway to cripple US corn and ethanol production.

Bugle: A Dog of the Rockies (Famous Dog Stories)
by Thomas C. HinkleBugle was only a pup that first time he tangled with One Toe, the notorious rogue bear. His valiant mother Queen fell in the midst of that savage fight to the death. And from that day on the big powerfully built wolfhound never stopped in his hunt for the monster grizzly—even when the trail led him farther and farther away from the ranch and his young, pretty owner, Mary Norman. Caught and beaten by Lute Boggs, a crafty down-and-out trapper, Bugle almost starved to death. In a desperate effort to break away, the courageous dog was stung by the sudden strike of Lute's bullet. Yet Bugle was to escape at least when the treacherous Lute was struck down by the maddened One Toe. Bugle struck out on the trail of the grizzly once again, but was himself plagued by all the natural enemies of the timberland. But blizzards and the threat of wolves and mountain lions could not hold back Bugle from his destined showdown with One Toe. And when it came out was a bloody fight as the two teetered on the edge of a high cliff. Thomas Hinkle once again succeeds in capturing the spirit of the West in his tale of a magnificent wolfhound named Bugle.
