A collection of the Buck Duran Mysteries series so far. Contains six books in chronological order. The Buck Duran Mysteries: High Alpha-Q Odessa on Ice Bonnell Vespers Way Tight Sisterdale Shadows Millennium Mash HIGH ALPHA-Q At the dawn of the digital age, a notorious beauty goes missing from the colorful live music scene in Austin, Texas. Mega-star Bob Tom Cody sends his bodyguard, Buck Duran, to help find her. In his search, Duran faces a variety of bizarre characters in and around the colorful city. The trail leads to a ranch where Duran runs into a drug-smuggling gang that preys upon the burgeoning high tech community in Austin. Violent foreign interests manipulate events and ignite an explosive climax. HIGH ALPHA-Q is a treacherous race through Austin's wild music scene that goes down a dark rat hole of espionage. ODESSA ON ICE International music star Tom Brodie sends his bodyguard Buck Duran on a mission to Odessa, a city built by and for the production of West Texas crude, a city governed by the reckless rules of the oil field. Just as Duran arrives, an epic ice storm strikes the Permian Basin, transforming the level landscape into a dangerous white puzzle. Refugees from this storm stay warm indoors in a variety of ways, some illegal, some lethal. Always in danger of spinning out of control, Odessa on Ice chases bad dreams and ice queens down dark frozen tunnels. BONNELL VESPERS During the first Gulf War, an Iraqi scud slaughters an Israeli father and daughter, among many others in a Tel Aviv apartment building. In her despair, the surviving wife and mother seeks the help of an old friend, Buck Duran in Austin, Texas. Her plea propels Duran twenty-five years into the past, where he encounters the horrors of an unknown serial killer. BONNELL VESPERS is a kaleidoscopic, time-warped plunge through Austin and the Hill Country, where bad guys bloom but the good bleed dry. WAY TIGHT When faceless enemies try to kill Buck Duran with a bomb, they blow away his bride-to-be instead. The trauma nearly kills Duran but family and friends catch his fall. With their help, Duran regains his health along with emotional and psychological balance. Duran learns his enemies will strike again soon, so he teams with two others who are also determined to find and destroy whoever killed his fiancée. In violation of several international laws, the three of them invade Rancho Quetzaltocatl, nest of a treacherous drug cartel. WAY TIGHT climbs to brilliant heights of health and well-being, then dives into the darkness of a spider hole in Mexico. SISTERDALE SHADOWS In the morning paper, Buck Duran reads that a friend of his from decades earlier has been the victim of a terrorist attack. He leaves immediately to help, embarking on a quest that awakens his long-dormant passion and fills a void in his life. The search carries him a century and a half into the past, where he is stranded in the dungeon of a dragon. Buck Duran must fight to free himself and others from demons that lurk in SISTERDALE SHADOWS. MILLENNIUM MASH As clocks tick to midnight on the last day of the Twentieth Century, Buck Duran is far from home, working security for Tom Brodie's band at the end of a long tour. When members of the band turn up murdered, Buck Duran and Detroit Chief of Detective Herman Redding together shield the survivors and search for unknown killers. Duran faces all threats with a hard will, a hard mind and a hard fist, but it is a gentle heart that helps him thread the needle and guide his tribe to safety in the new Millennium.
