POLICE PROCEDURAL MYSTERY
BULL
by Taylor Jones
What is Bull doing at Mystery Lovers Corner? Because Bull does a
bit of detective work while chasing bad characters and because
after he is rich and paranoid he hires Pinkerton's Detective
Agency to find out who is after him, Dawn said that I should add
the book.
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Raised by Old Ned, a mountain man turned prospector, Bull remembers his father's advice to gain security by gaining wealth and power. He works as a Cavalry scout, then uses gambling and stock speculations to gain control of the Placer City Mine.
He and Old Ned build the Rigel Corporation, a mining and agriculture empire, despite the antagonism of Walks-Like-Snake, a Ute Chief (and many others), and his own reluctance to change with the times. When Bull's interest are in jeopardy, Bull attacks.
Some of the characters in Bull:
BRUSER JOHNSON: The only man that's tougher than Bull. He to Pine Gulch after losing his family in and ice storm in Kansas. He works for Bull
CORN SMITH: A cheep and deadly thug whom Bull chases from Colorado to the Sierras in California after Corn kills Happy's third husband. Bull carries Old Ned's big old knife on this trip. Stinky is Corn's associate on this fateful trip.
DEAD MEN: To many to name here. Those that infringe on the Rigel Corporation and faces Bull's wrath.
DIGGER: He lays them to rest.

Happy was once a soiled dove. She inherited Gun Hogan's ranch which becomes her home when Bull buys it back. She became a schoolmarm before she married Bull Davis. She has a touch of revenge in her heart. Happy has twin boys fathered by Jasper. Will Bull ever be able to father his own child?
MADAME MARIA: Bull's business partner, the beautiful saloon owner, Maria, loves Bull but refuses to marry him because of his love for Happy.

MILITIA: Straight-shooting workmen who are hired by Bull to protect Old Ned. They help Old Ned develop mining properties.
OLD NED: He raised Bull and is his partner, focusing on the mining business. He loves Bull, but he gets exasperated with Bull's activities.

Peter refuses to pursue Bull's personal grudges, but he does protect the interest of the Rigel Corporation. Peter was wounded in a careless move as a deputy. The sheriff sends him to New Mexico to be trained by a professional gunman with whom Peter makes a strange pact.
STUPE HENDERSON: A cowboy who is shot by Peter Ott, the gunman.
WALKS-LIKE-SNAKE: Bull's nemesis while Bull and Old Ned serve as army scouts in the early days. Along with other Indians, including Geronimo, he is a constant thorn in Bull's hide. But Bull has mixed emotions about the Indians.

Young Peter Ott gets entangled with a rancher's wife and is forced to leave home.

Also, Bull Davis, who owns mining and agricultural interest, pays Ott to avenge the death of one of his ranch foremen.
