Knee High by the Fourth of July
September 2007
Nominee for Lefty Award for Best Humorous Mystery of 2007
Mira James thought Chief Wenonga was a safe love interest. He was tall, dark, and handsome, and he never picked fights. So what if he was a 23-foot fiberglass statue? It was the perfect relationship -- until he disappeared, and Mira found a bloody human scalp at the base. As Mira searches for someone missing a chunk of head, a second statue disappears from west central Minnesota, and she realizes she is dealing with something far more sinister than a simple prank.
