Joan Hess

Maggody series

an Arly Hanks mystery

Under the benign watch of Police Chief Arly Hanks, things are pretty quiet in the sleepy Arkansas town of Maggody these days. Not even the prospect of a documentary on the local (albeit insignificant) Civil War skirmish at Cotter's Ridge causes much of a stir. What does finally get things buzzing is the revelation that two saddlebags of Confederate gold were hidden in a local cave. With a colorful cast of outlanders taking over Maggody, all plotting to get their hands on the lost gold, Arly has her hands full merely keeping the visitors from each other's throats. And when the genealogist of the Stump County Historical Society dies under questionable circumstances, and a member of the Buchanon clan is the victim of a vicious and fatal attack, Arly finds herself faced with the most baffling whodunit of her career
