About this series
Murder Creek, the third and final book of the Firedamp series finds Deputy Sheriff Sam Garrett once again in search of his prodigal brother "Tick" (Billy Wade) while at the same time wrestling with his conscience over allowing Jack Grimes (Hunter's Moon) to escape responsibility for the shooting death of his own father, the outlaw moonshiner Dewey Grimes. Sam revisits his cousin me-Curt, who advises him to drop the case against Jack, and re-crosses the swinging bridge to Stoney Fork, where he receives an enigmatic warning from Mammy in the form of one of her "visions." In the meantime, Sam receives yet another unexpected call from Special Agent L.C. Schilder of the federal Bureau of Investigation in Cincinnati that sends him into the unfamiliar and dangerous territory of Harlan County, where the escalating conflict between the mining companies "association" and the miners union threatens to catch the deputy in the cross-hairs of hostilities.

- Hunter's Moon: Firedamp, #2
2
Hunter's Moon follows Sam Garrett's debut in Firedamp as a young deputy sheriff taking over for his mentor and boss, Sheriff I.D. Atkins, who has been sidelined by a bootlegger's bullet in Bell County, Kentucky. In this sequel, Sam returns to Pineville after doing battle with gangsters in Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky—the original "Sin City" of its time—only to become entangled with a local moonshiner out for revenge after the deputy removes the man's abused children from a run-down shack in Pickerin Hollow. Hunter's Moon is also the story of how the greenhorn deputy deals with the odd assortment of characters and kinfolk who make up the patchwork quilt of his daily life. From an irascible federal revenuer to an enigmatic favorite aunt and a one-legged hillbilly cousin, Sam careens into one chaotic scene after another as his well-intentioned but sketchy schemes play out in ways he could not foretell.
