All Vinnie "Spuds" DeMarco wants from Wiley--who draws insects for the Smithsonian--is "semi-decent pitchas--no smut--" of his eighteen resident cuties, naturally named the Spudettes.

Nice gig--only someone's knocking off the hoods at Vinnie's resort. Someone's got an attitude, and wants everybody dead.

There are enough characters in BAD EYE BLUES to make Wiley's visit hazardous at best...from Laurel, the unhappy hooker, to Bobby Bad Eye, who thinks the Little Big Horn was just a good start.

Fun with Laurel and Aster, Columbine and Phlox quickly turns to murder in the hot afternoon. For Wiley, getting out of Idaho quickly turns into priority number one. A raging forest fire is just the start of a frantic chase with shoot-off stops at Bob's Marmot City, a topless domino parlor, and a hair-raising finish on the banks of the Snake.
