Missing Bonds

by Bruce W. Most

From a shanty town called The Bottoms to a mile-high field of dreams, Denver bail bondswoman Ruby Dark uses her charm, her courage and her knowledge of Denver's best and worst sides to search out her skip. But this mystery reaches back 30 years and 10,000 miles away. And for Ruby, getting back one Bullet Joe Brown--or her money--means exposing a dark secret that will send her on the ride of her life.

About the author

When not traveling, taking photographs, and playing tennis, Bruce writes mysteries in which the reader gets a fair chance to deduce whodunit before the sleuth does. Not a surprise. He grew up consuming the great whodunit writers such as Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen, and his favorite, Raymond Chandler. He read his grandfather’s entire collection of 100 falling-apart paperbacks by Erle Stanley Gardner of Perry Mason fame, a collection he still has, much to his wife’s dismay.

His latest mystery, The Big Dive, was released in 2019. He recently rereleased his award-winning Rope Burn with a new cover https://amzn.to/3u44jym, and will be releasing a new mystery, No Time for Murder, later in 2022.
