Chupacabra - Conner Bright Mysteries, #2

Private investigator and Arizona native Conner Bright tries to hide from his past with a b-movie quality Australian accent, alligator skin boots, and a bowie knife strapped to his side, but it always seems to catch up to him. When a bizarre murder in the desert gets blamed on the mythical blood-sucking Chupacabra, Conner gets called in to investigate. But nothing makes sense and when Conner uncovers the truth, he faces an impossible choice between what he cares the most about and his own life.
From Robert J. McCarter, the author of Out of a Christmas Sky: A Carterville Mystery, comes a private investigator and a case like no other.
