Hard Cheese — Carl Brookins

When short private detective Sean NMI Sean agrees to escort his friend, wealthy massage therapist Catherine Mckerney, to the great Minnesota State Fair, he plans on a fun-filled relaxing time looking at exotic and domestic animals, both four and two-legged, and seeing displays of produce from farms far and wide. What he doesn't expect is to discover murderers and drug smugglers, nor does running pell mell after a thief through horse droppings appear on his horizon, until it happens. As usual, Sean is equal to the task and with help from Catherine, solves the mystery of the hard cheese.
