Murder Passes the Buck

Gertie Johnson may be outspoken, distrustful of banks, and a quick draw with the pepper spray, but she hasn''t lost her marbles. Her son Blaze, the sheriff in a backwoods community of Michigan''s Upper Peninsula, is petitioning to become her legal guardian, but Gertie, a sassy sixty-six-year-old widow with a taste for detective work, has got bigger fish to fry: solving the murder of Chester Lampi who was shot dead in his deer blind. Blaze-who''s more interested in retiring than investigating-rules Chester''s death as a hunting accident. So, Gertie takes on the case with help from her friends, man-hungry Cora Mae and pin-curled Kitty. Interrogating neighbors, spying, impersonating the FBI . . . the stubborn, spunky grandmother won''t give up the chase even when the killer takes aim at her.Baker, Deb is the author of 'Murder Passes the Buck ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781597223881 and ISBN 1597223883.
