Hippie Hollow - Murder on a Nude Beach
Story Summary: What do you get when you set your story in contemporary Austin, Texas, mix in multiple murders at a nude beach, toss in a collection of Keep Austin Weird characters, stir with lots of action, drop in your hero, rodeo cowboy, former Austin cop and the city's newest private investigator, B. B. Rivers, and simmer over a page turning plot? Hippie Hollow - Murder on a Nude Beach. It's a wild ride, humorous, irreverent, and contemporary. Carlos Castaneda meets Hank the Cowdog. Since his downward departure from the Austin Police Department, B. B. Rivers works as a bouncer and steer wrestler for tips at Kickers Saloon, Sixth Street’s favorite watering hole with rodeo arena out back. After a year of dead end interviews, of lattes in the a.m and cerveza by night, he lands what he believes is the the ideal job – reopening the five year old high profile Hippie Hollow murder case, relegated to the back burner by the investigating taskforce. Four teenagers are attacked
heading home after a party at the lake. Plans are to stop off for some
skinny dipping at Hippie Hollow. They are riding in a limo owned by a
renowned televangelist who was to be a passenger. Two are executed, a
third is comatose and the fourth has disappeared. No motive. No
clues. No arrests. A murder for hire? Yeah, but who hired the hit?
And who was the intended victim? It’s a wild mystery ride, full of Keep
Austin Weird characters, laugh out loud funny, romantic and sexy.
The Armadillo
Whisperer - Murder Behind Bars
Story Summary: B. B. is back. With the reward money from his first case, rodeo cowboy turned private eye, B. B. Rivers opens his own agency above Kickers, Austin’s unique saloon with rodeo arena out back. No more steer wrestling for our boy though. In this sequel to Hippie Hollow, he has married his sweetheart Patricia, and there is a creek on the way (Rivers have creeks). Will a beautiful baby be what it takes to settle B. B. down? Not hardly. Angel Chai, his fantasy come true, a Creole beauty who won’t give him the reward money he earned for dispatching her father’s killer, unless he comes to New Orleans to collect in person. But with those extra funds, the new family can now buy a house, and settle down into a peaceful everyday existence. In between tracking down tomcats and staking out Mom’s garden, B. B. takes on a real money job. Used car salesman, Poodie Slack hires him to find out what’s petrifying brother Rudy, incarcerated at Lake City Federal Pen for rolling back speedometers on the lot. B. B., not a relative and too to proud to go in as a lawyer, breaks into prison disguised as Father B. B., finding out the hard way that somebody sure as hell wants him off the case. The gang from Hippie Hollow return - Max, Auntie Loo, Patricia, T. Rex, Angel Chai and B. B.’s mom and dad, in this equally hilarious, equally Austin-tatious, action packed sequel.
Story Summary: Coming down the mountain from his yearly horseback camping trip to Taos, New Mexico, B.B. learns that his old high school pal O.C. Flowers has disappeared, so he drops off his horse, Too Tall, drives to California. “Blend in if you can” has become B.B.’s unlikely new maxim. In his third case, he sheds his boots, jeans, freshly ironed white western shirt, his Austin-tatious rodeo belt buckle and Stetson, and dons sneakers, running shorts, and a Giant’s cap. He’s in San Francisco, and his best friend O. C., notorious rock singer/guitarist does not show for a very important rehearsal for this most important concert of his life . Reviled by religious leaders because of the sacrilegious, irreverent music of the Honk If You’re Jesus band, was O. C. kidnapped, or a drug trip gone wrong, or something else altogether? With nothing to go on, except that O.C. was last seen heading for Chinatown, our boy hits the mean streets of The City. Here is the third book in the B. B. Rivers Trilogy. It’s Cormac McCarthy meets Jackie Chan. |
