Description
“Hammerhead” Jed is back! And this time, he’s gone a little bit country…
After a lumberjack games competitor is found floating face down in a pool with an axe buried in the back of his head, former pro wrestler-turned-P.I. “Hammerhead” Jed Ounstead is on the case. Investigating the Colossal Cloverdale Rodeo and County Fair with his ne’er do well cousin Declan, Jed finds that he will need all of his skills to find out what happened to a man they’d just spent the previous night drinking with. Along the way, these two city boys will need to reckon with the raucous world of the rodeo, dodging homicidal clowns, betting on cow pie bingo, riding bucking broncos and more in their attempt to solve the case over the course of one crazy day.
Bronco Buster is the ferociously funny fast-paced fourth instalment in A.J. Devlin’s award-winning mystery series.
