Murder at Sleeping Tiger
Sheriff Ulysses Walker Series, Book One

Book one of the Sheriff Ulysses Walker series is a thrilling whodunit set at a retreat at Sleeping Tiger Zen Center. Meet Ulysses Walker, the young, Anglo Sheriff of Taos County and his friend Ray  Pando, War Chief of Picuris, and see how together they solve the shocking murders taking place during a record snowstorm at the retreat center and on nearby Picuris land in mountainous northern New Mexico.  

 

“As an avid mystery reader I have always liked settings in the American southwest. The Zen retreat in northern New Mexico was a perfect spot for the interesting cast of characters. I liked the mixture of cultures and conflicts in this intriguing mystery. I highly recommend this new series and look forward to the next book.” From Amazon Reviews
