When historian Willie Clarke dies suspiciously of dehydration just outside of a touristy ghost town, private investigator Jim Knighthorse is hired to find answers.

It doesn't take the ex-football hero long to discover that the historian's death is connected to one of the West's most bizarre murder mysteries ever―that of a cowboy found mummified in the desert a hundred years ago with a bullet hole in his stomach. A cowboy now propped up in a curiosity shop for all the world to gawk at.

As the two cases converge, it's up to Jim Knighthorse to untangle not one, but two murders.

The Mummy Case is the second in the Jim Knighthorse series of mystery novels. This series is jam-packed with one-liners, fist fights, gun fights, and a tough-as-nails detective with a heart of gold.
