Hunt it in the Dark Clyde Glandon

HUNT IT IN THE DARKHas Lee Hunter bitten off more than he can chew?Lee Hunter has moved back to his hometown of Kansas City, Kansas, but it's not like he's really settled in. Too much is criminally out of whack for the middle-aged private eye to feel at home. Why do the Pinkstaff brothers make a practice of throwing lit cigarette butts at people? How about a nosy neighbor calling to report that a woman has left two huge trash bags full of cash out at the curb?Is there really Confederate gold from the Civil War buried somewhere in the Free State soil of Wyandotte County?And when and why did his new girlfriend Cliona buy a shocker as a hedge weapon? As Lieutenant Bannister says: Lee, you are a glutton for punishment. In this collection of crime stories the unsettled Lee Hunter has a lot more hunting to do, most of it in the dark. Clyde Glandon tells fascinating stories of Lee Hunter, a private detective who returns to his hometown of Kansas City, Kansas. These short stories offer tales of lost Confederate gold, a woman who protects her liquor store with a shotgun and a distant cousin who is being held in a commune in the Wolcott community.-Murrel Bland, former editor of Wyandotte West and The Piper PressKansas City, Kansas native Clyde Glandon has created the latest of his mysteries which are often rooted in the storied past of his history-rich hometown, intertwining with the present. It is a multi-ethnic community born of the strife of the Civil War era, and Glandon conveys that well-seasoned flavor. -Joe H. Vaughan, Prairie Village, Kansas
