Wild town
\"Hot-tempered, slow-witted, and in trouble more often than not, David \"Bugs\" McKenna can't seem to help doing the right thing at the wrong time--or the wrong thing at any time. But once Bugs drifts into Ragtown, Texas, things start to look up. He gets work as a house detective at the Hanlon Hotel, and for once in his life he's the straightest arrow in the joint. And to whom should Bugs owe all this good luck but Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford, a man who is much more manipulative, and sinister, than he first appears. In Wild Town, Jim Thompson returns to the characters from The Killer Inside Me, the exuberantly praised novel that made his reputation, and skillfully conveys how quickly a man's life can take a turn for the worse\" --Page 4 of cover.

That old scoundrel death
\"When a man is run off the road by a thug with a snake tattooed around his neck, Sheriff Dan Rhodes knows it's his duty to stop and help out. The grateful victim gives his name as Cal Stinson, on his way to the nearby town of Thurston to take a look at the old school building before the city tears it down. The next day, Cal Stinson turns up again. Only this time, he's dead. His body is found in the dilapidated school that's about to be razed, and the woman who let Cal onto the premises claims he gave his name as Bruce Wayne. Between not-so-bright hoodlums who can't seem to stay on the right side of the law, powerful families in town who are ready to go to battle over whether the old school should come down, and trying futilely to get private detective Seepy Benton to stop making mountains of mole hills, Sheriff Rhodes is beginning to wonder if retirement might be as good as it sounds\"-- Provided by publisher.

Dead, to begin with
\"Life is never easy for Texas Sheriff Dan Rhodes. When he is called in the middle of the night to investigate gunshots at a haunted house, Rhodes finds the body of meth dealer Neil Foshee. Recently released from jail, Foshee has his fair share of potential murderers, including former girlfriend Vicki, her new boyfriend, the nephew of Clearview's mayor, and Foshee's criminal cousins Earl and Louie. Complicating matters is Seepy Benton, the community college math professor who has a new summer job. He's founded Clearview Paranormal Investigations and wants to solve the murder by communing with Foshee's ghost. But when he connects with something else instead and a second body is found, Rhodes is left with more questions than ever. Who's the dead person? How long has the body been hidden? Is Benton really able to communicate with ghosts? And most importantly: What, if anything, does the body have to do with Neil Foshee's death? Between the Living and the Dead, Bill Crider's latest installment in the critically-acclaimed Sheriff Dan Rhodes mystery series, finds Rhodes dealing with ghost hunters, runaway bulls, and assorted low-level crimes, including prosecuting people who don't use their turn signals. It's all in a day's work in Clearview, Texas\"-- Provided by publisher.
