WHO REALLY
KILLED SHERIFF CULVER?

Starbuck had signed on as deputy, and it was his lot to find out. He suspected the obnoxious son of the town's leading citizen. But nobody seemed willing to believe him, with some even accusing Starbuck himself of doing the deed. Starbuck hits the trail, with all the cards stacked against his bringing back the real culprit... if he managed to live so long!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
