Bain, Joe Series-Jack Vance
Bain, Joe Series-Jack Vance 1. The Fox Valley Murders (1966) 2. The Pleasant Grove Murders (1967) 3. The Genesee Slough Murders-outline for a novel (1994) These two mystery novels and an outline are stand-alone works that are interconnected because of sharing the same main character and setting. Each features Joe Bain, the rural sheriff in the fictional county of San Rodrigo a few hours drive south east of San Francisco. It is a very regional setting where everybody knows each other, nothing is secret for very long and a person’s personal history is readily recalled. See my reviews under each work’s title.
