A cop, a pig, and a serial killer walk into a bar.

Seal Island is home to a moonshine making billionaire, a pot growing fisherman, a celebrity flower child, a handsome romance writer, a sex addicted realtor, a womanizing pub owner, a cop, a pot-bellied pig... and a serial killer.

The island is serene and remote. It is only accessible by boat. The residents like it that way, until those with the deepest and darkest of secrets start dying in the most bizarre of ways.

Upon discovering widow, Eliza Bone, floating bottoms-up in her Oscar fish tank, the one clue that the crime solving duo of Sergeant Betty Bruce and her pot-bellied pig, Gertrude, have is a set of muddy gumboot tracks left at the scene. The problem: everyone on Seal Island wears gumboots.

As two more people die and secrets begin to unravel, Betty and Gertrude soon find themselves in the cross-hairs of a serial killer.

In the end, only Gertrude may be left standing!

If you love Miss Marple, Twin Peaks or Murder She Wrote, then Laura Hesse's Gumboot & Gumshoe Series is the perfect read.

Join Sgt. Betty Bruce and Gertrude as they continue to solve the crimes in the two sequels The Dastardly Mister Deeds and Murder Most Fowl.

Note to readers: Book One has a cliff hanger ending. The book was based on a screenplay designed to spin-off into a series. I couldn't release the sequels until the movie rights returned to me, hence I released the two sequels when I was able to. If the cliff hanger bothers you, then please read the trilogy, The Gumboot and Gumshoe Series: The Complete Trilogy to find out who-dunnit, or download the complete five books in the series in The Gumboot and Gumshoe Series.
