Gary Corbin

Gary Corbin writes mysteries and thrillers, including the Mountain Man Mystery series set around Lehigh Carter and the rural communities of central Oregon. The Mountain Man’s Dog opens that series with Carter drawn into danger after encountering a dog and a woman whose circumstances demand closer attention. The Mountain Man’s Badge continues the sequence, returning to the same protagonist and landscape while shifting the investigative pressure toward law, loyalty, and local conflict. Corbin’s series design gives the books continuity without making their mysteries interchangeable: recurring characters and setting provide the frame, while each volume builds its own crime narrative. FictionDB’s series record places both titles together and identifies their order, supporting their treatment as connected works rather than unrelated novels. Across the sequence, Corbin combines small-community tensions, outdoor settings, and suspense, making the books especially relevant to readers following Carter’s development from one case to the next.
