Paragraphs: Mysteries of the Golden Booby — Bob Doerr

"Paragraphs: Mysteries of the Golden Booby" is a romping mystery/thriller written by four established and award-winning authors -- Bob Doerr, David Harry, Pat McGrath Avery, and Joyce Faulkner. Set in South Padre Island, Texas -- and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the novel takes the reader on a search for the mythical Golden Booby. With "Legends of the Golden Booby," Bob Doerr kicks off the story with the hero of his Jim West mystery series and two new characters, Sam Wiesel and Clint Smith. South Padre Island author David Harry picks up the tale in "The Professor" and we learn about the Brownsville/Pittsburgh competition to acquire the priceless artifact. Pat McGrath Avery's Hap Lynch solves a murder in the museum that housed the beautiful bird in "Murder Can Be Golden." And Joyce Faulkner completes the puzzle in "Paragraphs." Like a winding road, the story climbs and falls, curves back around itself and speeds down the straight aways. The cast of characters includes island celebrities, familiar good guys, hissing villains -- and a really really cool bird
