The Chronicles of Jack Best Rodman Goode

Now readers can enjoy THREE Jack Best adventures in one volume. THE CHRONICLES OF JACK BEST features the non-stop action of TWO TEARS IN A BUCKET, THE MORE I LIKE FLIES, and UP JUMPED THE MONKEY-all in on e place. TWO TEARS IN A BUCKET-For Deputy Constable Jack Best, life is a bowl of cherries. But when his boss is killed while in the company of a lovely young co-ed (who happens NOT to be his wife), Jack must rekindle some old skills and do what it is that he does best . . . solve a murder. Petty politics, stale grudges, and too many suspects paint the backdrop of life in North Texas as one man seeks the killer of Dallas County's favorite bigoted big shot. THE MORE I LIKE FLIES-When a close friend is jailed for murdering a local party girl (who has just beaten the rap for killing her own child), Deputy Marshal Jack Best must once again ride to the rescue. But unseen forces work against him, and if he's not careful, those closest to him may end up paying the ultimate price-with their lives. This fast-paced Jack Best Mystery takes the reader on a frenetic ride as the intrepid investigator tracks the killer of the most hated TV trial vixen in Dallas. UP JUMPED THE MONKEY-Jack and crew are down in South Central Texas where Kaye's working on a new movie and Jack's taking a break from crime in the big city. But when a local girl is found strangled in a church confessional, Jack is pulled into the fray once again. And if that's not enough, tragedy and death stalk Kaye's movie shoot as camera's roll near old San Antonio.
