The Black Dragon Cafe

When Utah Sheriff Bud Shumway gets a strange letter saying a perfect crime is about to be committed, he has no idea that it’s just the beginning of a series of cryptic happenings, from a body that goes missing to finding another that happens to belong to a popular local photographer.

Throw in an assortment of plein-air artists, radio-control pilots (even a blimp!), Van Gogh aficionado, the Invisible Man, a strange canvas with clues painted on it at night, a bicycle-riding thief, a spooky grave, a messenger from another galaxy, a Rockabilly mayor who’s in trouble for his economic-development efforts, and an enigmatic petroglyph, and who could ask for more intrigue and adventure in Utah’s beautiful Black Dragon Canyon?

This is book #16 in the Bud Shumway Mystery Series.
