Death at the Black Bull by Frank Hayes
A Virgil Dalton Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Berkley Trade
What we know about the character: Virgil Dalton's been the sheriff of Hayward — a sleepy Southwestern town full of cattle, trucks, and tumbleweeds — for over a dozen years and has lived there all his life. For more information about his first murder, see a synopsis of the book, below.
Hayward is a place where everybody pretty much knows everybody — but they don't know each other's secrets …
Buddy Hinton is just a good ole boy. So when he disappears after a night drinking at the Black Bull, his friends just figure he went down to Mexico to find himself a girlfriend and eventually will come back. But this case quickly becomes a homicide after the sheriff discovers the missing man floating in one of his stock tanks.
For a man who wasn't known to have enemies, Buddy clearly upset someone. Figuring out who that was will require Virgil and his deputy, Jimmy, to retrace Buddy's last steps — and to remain a step ahead of a murderer who may have no qualms about killing again …
