CW Sughrue Books in Order

Montana investigator C.W. Sughrue is hired to find drunken novelist Abraham Trahearne, then stumbles into the decade-old disappearance of a young woman from Haight-Ashbury. The case becomes a bruising trip through America’s bars, highways, and secrets.

Needing cash after a jukebox disaster, retired Sughrue takes a small case about stolen fish. The trail widens to a kidnapped politician’s wife, rare pottery, and a gun-toting mother with her own agenda.

Gut-shot Sughrue and cheated Milo Milodragovitch are both looking for payback when their trails cross near the Mexican border. Their uneasy partnership turns a hunt for stolen money into a violent road trip through outlaw country.

Sughrue is pulled out of shaky domestic calm when a psychiatrist friend asks him to recover stolen patient files. What starts as a private favor turns deadly as suspects vanish, die, or drag him deeper into Missoula trouble.
