Bigfoot Bait

📖 The Scoop

In this the second book of the Becker Trilogy, Bigfoot Bait, and Jim Scott Books #23, Bob gets a case to work on involving the kidnapping of two coeds from the university in Columbia, Missouri, where his friend Wilbur Holder is Chief of the Campus Police. During the case, Dan and Janet Orf deal with a similar case from the university in Berkeley, California, where another young lady has been kidnapped. In the process of the two investigations, it is discovered they may be intertwined. For readers of the Janitor and Asps series, I hope you'll be happy to discover Jim and Holly Scott get involved, along with Hector Garcia.

Also in this book, "Crazy" Salazar Webster makes a return visit, leading to the discovery of the gun-running biker gang that Bob and Wilbur helped round up in Bob Becker P.I. Apparently the gang isn't finished just yet.

While the base premise of the story may seem a bit "out there," it is done with tongue in cheek, as I take a shot at loopy professors in general, and at the many folks making fortunes out of "Bigfoot" hunting. With all the modern equipment available, if Bigfoot (by whatever name) is real, there should be a nice video of him and his family by now. While I'm ambivalent as to the reality of "Bigfoot"--even if I do find the subject a bit interesting--many people do believe Bigfoot exists. This, in part, is the story of two such men who reside (in their minds) in the entitlement class. Bob Becker and friends feel those two have stepped way across the line of proper conduct--and do something about it--with a bit of help from surprising sources.

Special note to the citizens of Entiat, Washington: I took a few liberties (literary license) with the facilities of your lovely town. Hope you'll forgive me
