Coffin Man

When a young lady vanishes, Colorado rancher and Ute tribal investigator Charlie Moon is the man to call--whether it’s mystery, mysticism, or murder...

After a heavy storm, Charlie receives a panicked call from Wanda Naranjo. Not only is her sink leaking, but her daughter Betty is sixteen and pregnant--and missing. Where’d she go? No one knows. Who’s the father? Anybody’s guess. Any leads? Just the local bad-boy carpenter who’s raising suspicion faster than he can build a pine box...

As if that wasn’t enough of a bad omen, Charlie’s Aunt Daisy seems to have lost her connection to the spirit world, a mysterious stranger has shown up at Charlie’s ranch, and someone’s found a dead body in the cemetery. A fresh dead body. Now Charlie’s got to hunker down and dig up some evidence--before a killer puts the final nail in his coffin...
