Doggone Dead

A runaway puppy sends Betsy Livingston looking for it, and the search ends at a murder on the estate of a retired movie cowboy star. The townsfolk claim they have spotted the dead cowboy himself, and rumor says he is hunting down everyone who wronged his daughter. She was killed by her butler, a man who cared more about money than loyalty.

The story unfolds over the Fourth of July in Pecan Bayou, Texas, a small town where the legends of the Old West seem to linger long after their heroes are gone.
