James D. Doss (1939-2012) was an American mystery novelist whose entire fiction career centered on the Charlie Moon series. A retired electrical engineer, Doss drew on his interest in Ute tribal culture and the landscape of southwestern Colorado to create a distinctive mystery series that ran for eighteen books from 1994 to 2012.
His novels are set in the fictional town of Granite Creek, Colorado, and feature a cast anchored by Charlie Moon, a Ute rancher and part-time investigator, and his aunt Daisy Perika, an elderly Ute shaman with a sharp tongue and connections to the spirit world. The interplay between modern detective work and traditional Ute beliefs gives the series a flavor unlike any other in the mystery genre.
