Dead Man Waiting

by Charles C. BrownPublish: Jan 14, 2014Crime Fiction Mystery

Book Overview

Dead men tell no tells...especially if they can't be found.

During one of the hottest summers in Oklahoma history, Jolie Weaver has worked herself to the point of mental and physical exhaustion trying to keep the Weaver ranch going. Her husband, Wade Allan Weaver, Jr., has been missing for six months, but before he disa... ppeared, he spent so much money on "big boy toys" that Jolie can't even afford to run the AC. Sleeping with windows open isn't an option because most of them are painted shut. And then there's the problem of the prowler--someone who moves things around at night and throws the occasional rock against the side of the house. Not a good idea to give him easy entry. In her desperation, she asks for help from an unusual--and possibly dangerous--source.

He calls himself Mack, and Jolie literally picks him up on the side of the road. He agrees to stay and make her a hand for thirty days in exchange for room and board. And, oh yes, he will pay the electric bill. Mack turns out to be a man of few words and many skills, and he takes to ranching quickly. But the future remains in limbo. Will Wade Allen show up before those thirty days end? Will Mack be as good as his word and stay, or will Jolie wake one morning and find him gone? And what about the prowler who has been disturbing her sleep? What is he after? Will he eventually just go away or will his activities become more violent?

Most importantly, where is Wade Allan Weaver, jr.? Has Jolie gotten enough of his cheating ways and done him in as members of the Sheriff's Department and her father-in-law suspect? Is he shacked up in Tulsa with a sugar mamma, having the time of his life--a theory Jolie proposes? Or is he just what the old hand at the feed store suggests: a dead man waiting to be found.?

BIOGRAPHY
Charles Brown decided to major in English and minor in history in college because he planned to be a writer and thought both would help him. He figured the teaching profession would allow him time to write, but he soon learned that teaching didn't leave much time for writing--not when he soon had a wife and three chi... ldren to support. So the writing was put on the back burner until he retired.

Now the nest is empty and there's time to write. His wife, Carolyn Brown, is a romance author so she understands what it means to have deadlines and characters running around in an author's head.

Brown graduated from high school in Mt. Union, Pennsylvania, from college at Southeastern State University in Durant, Oklahoma and taught high school English in three states, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, before he retired in 2008. He served three years in the Army, spending most of that time in Germany. He and his wife, Carolyn, have three children and enough grandchildren to keep them young. read more
