About this series
Thompson’s fall from grace is precipitated by his investigation when a Mormon polygamist is murdered in an elk-hunting camp near Jackson Hole. As fate would have it, the dead man is a first cousin to Tom's ex-wife and their son is a witness to the hideous murder. Tom’s investigation takes him to Moab, Utah where he finds himself neck-deep in a slough of fundamentalist religionists, a Mormon militia, militant lesbians, and others who teach him a new definition of the word “weird”. And in the middle of all the craziness, his nemesis appears in the form of a billionaire intent on seducing his new wife.

1
Detective Tom Thompson of the Teton County Sheriff's Office in the beautiful little resort town of Jackson, Wyoming is in a delicate condition. He's a Viet vet and recovering alcoholic with a bitter ex-wife, a confused teen-aged son, and a house he can't afford being built. Tommy's fellow officers are calling him "Tummy" because he's gained so much weight since his divorce. He's depressed, anxious, full of self-pity—and arsonists, bombers, and contract killers are headed his way. It's time to get tough, or die.

Tom "Tommy" Thompson's investigation will lead him to the far south of Mexico, and the mountain home of the Mixtec Indians of Oaxaca, the mysterious Cloud People. Murder, artifact smuggling, Zapatista rebels, designer hallucinogens, and sacrificial rituals make this novel one for the books.
