Falcon Finale
Bob White is hoping to post a state record by sighting an elusive Gyrfalcon in Minnesota’s Cottonwood County, but instead, finds himself flying to Flagstaff, Arizona, to help his sister track down her missing husband/Bob’s best friend Alan. As soon as he lands in the high mountain country, though, Bob finds more than he bargained for, including a twenty-year-old unsolved murder and a boy who claims to be Alan’s son. Sifting his way through deception, land disputes, family secrets, and even an earthquake, Bob must strike a balance between suspicion and trust while he negotiates the tricky landscape of unearthing buried truths. Along the way, his birding expertise affords him close encounters with Arizona birds and possible murderers, but in order to solve the mystery and bring everyone home to Minnesota, Bob must first do something he’s never done before – not just find a killer, but figure out where the body is, too!

Murder on Warbler Weekend
For birder Bob White, May in Minnesota means three things: counseling high school students with spring fever, coaching the girls’ tenth grade softball team, and finding every warbler species during spring migration. But when his mother discovers a body in the midst of a morning of birding, disturbing items get added to Bob’s seasonal list: murder, gambling addictions, shady politics and controversial land deals, not to mention the possibility of wearing an orange jumpsuit while he makes license plates…. In this second outing of the Bob White Birder Murder Mystery series, Bob quickly finds himself chasing more than warblers as he searches for a killer who’s even closer to home than he realizes.
