Jules Clement Book Covers
Jamie Harrison Books Overview
The Edge of the Crazies
Perched at the foot of Montana’s Crazy Mountains, Blue Deer is a small town boasting an uneasy mix of longtime residents and hotshots from both coasts looking to possess their own piece of the Big Sky. Local sheriff Jules Clement manages the town’s tensions fairly well…
until someone blasts a hole in screenwriter George Blackwater’s office window and in George himself. As more of the town’s prominent citizens start turning up dead, the pressure on Jules keeps rising. It starts to look like this rookie sheriff may not survive the next election…
if he lives to see it.
Going Local
The rodeo is coming to Blue Deer, Montana but it’s up to sheriff Jules Clement to lasso a killer. Sheriff Jules Clement, first seen in Harrison’s acclaimed debut The Edge of the Crazies, is helping the town of Blue Deer, Montana, gear up for the annual Fourth of July rodeo, but his efforts are cut short when the corpses of a well known environmental lawyer and his young lover turn up in a nearby lake. Soon Jules uncovers a shady land deal involving the slain lawyer and a quirky cast of characters, including a debonair British movie director who considers Blue Deer the perfect film locale, and a sultry blonde to whose charms Jules quickly succumbs. As the townsfolk fret about the Hollywood izing of Blue Deer, the rodeo gets underway, sparking all kinds of theatrics between the swaggering locals and invading cowboy wannabes. And when the body count continues to rise, Jules realizes it’s high time to grab the bull by the horns…
An Unfortunate Prairie Occurrence
Big Sky, Old Bones, and Murderous Obsession. Blue Deer, Montana Has it All…
A Cleveland hunter has just shot off his best friend’s hand and the first blizzard fo the season was blowing into Blue Deer, Montana, when a camper found an old skeleton on Magpie Island. Sheriff Jules Clement, one time archeologist, now his hometown’s cop, relishes the chance to identify the remains. In a small town job riddled with gas station robberies and domestic abuse, the bones offer a chance to use his skills..a diversion from a dying love affair.. and a break from hunting a rapist who continues to strike. But old bones bring new troubles the kind that have Jules questioning his own friends and family, stripping away his last illusions about justice…
and the kind that can get a lawman killed in a Montana minute.
Blue Deer Thaw
The small town of Blue Deer, Montana, is most famous for its breathtaking landscape and numbingly cold winters. But unless something changes, soon the small town will be known as the murder capital of the American West. Bodies have begun to pop up in the oddest places a head is found poking out of a snowbank, a naked body floats by in the river, and a woman freezes to death just steps from her own front door. Reluctant Sheriff Jules Clement doesn’t mind the arctic winters, but he’d rather be doing anything other than hunting for clues to the multiple murders. And clues are surprisingly difficult to come by in a town as cozy as Blue Deer, where everyone knows way too much about everyone else. More difficult yet, the investigation means he must work closely with Deputy Caroline Fair, whose charms tend to interfere with his concentration. As the list of suspects grows, so does their mutual attraction, a desire that just must generate enough heat to defrost this most chilling of Blue Deer winters.
