The Dinosaur Hunter

The Dinosaur Hunter - Homer Hickam Mike Wire, retired L.A. homocide detective traded his badge for cowboy boots, working as foreman for the Square C Ranch in Montana. Dr. “Pick” Pickford has received permission to dig for dinosaur bones on the property and Mike is there to help and make sure everything goes smoothly. Just as they make a discovery that will revolutionize paleontology a murder takes place. Mike is torn between the discovery and trying to solve the murder.

The story was interesting enough to keep me reading. Dinosaurs and cowboys seem like a strange combination, but it all works to make for an interesting story.
