Body in the Bin: A Bullldog Dobson Mystery

By Ann C. Laker

BODY IN THE BIN As the garbage dumpster is lifted into the air on the forklift, a body slams forward, purged from beneath the dirty depths of nightclub garbage like a phantom. Joe the Sanitation Engineer gawked in horror as the lifeless pasty face with spherical eyes, stared blankly back at him through the windshield of the garbage truck. He returned the bin to the ground with a loud clatter leaving a lifeless hand and shoeless foot piercing the air. He had worked this route for twenty years and had never seen the likes of this.Cold, hauntingly abysmal eyes would become the source of his nightmares. The blank uninhabited face branded into his mind. The dirty-gloved hand he slammed to his mouth successfully arrested the nausea that pushed upward, causing a sensational burning in his throat. Seconds later, he swept the same-gloved hand across his forehead leaving a dirty sweaty trail. Panic set in and he shivered. It was dark, and to make matters worse it was drizzling rain. When the newly elected Sheriff Jordan Hinkley is confronted with murder and the body is discovered in the garbage bin of the local nightclub, corruption in his usually quiet village develops into something much more sinister. He enrols the help of the old retired Sherriff Bulldog Dobson. Then PI Mac Jonson, ex-cop, rolls into town looking for a major embezzler and he is shocked to discover it is his quarry that was murdered. The conspiracy develops; blackmail is unravelled when undesirable photographs are discovered. The three unite to solve the murder and mayhem that erupts into prospects that are more dangerous when Katy Beal, the daughter of the local B&B where Mac is staying is kidnapped, and then the wife of the dead victim is murdered in her hospital bed.
