The Bit in the Middle: A Sheriff Gus Mystery

Sheriff Gus gets exactly what he wants for his birthday: to be left alone. Sadly, this perfect gift doesn't last for very long when his daughter surprises him with the rather odd present of twenty sessions with a sex therapist. After all, it's not like he needs it or anything.

But Gus decides to humor his daughter and pays a token visit to the doctor. The visits take on much greater meaning, however, when a sex maniac starts preying on the lonely residents in Gus's rural county.

Problems continue to multiply for the sheriff when he gets a call to jury duty, faces down the horrors of a blind date, and is forced to deal with the headache caused by the new mayor's disruption of the roadways. Meanwhile Gus comes face-to-face with the empty world of modern love-from the virtual sex of online websites to the passions of local politics, drug dealers, and amateur erotica. And all the while, the body count continues rising...

Filled with quirky characters and biting social satire, The Bit in the Middle: A Sheriff Gus Mystery is a fast-paced murder thriller about a lonely sheriff in an increasingly lonely world.
